Want to obfuscate your talk about coding even further?  How about coding with a
Perl module that allows programs to be written in Latin?

The original reference came to me through memepool.org...

Perligata code -- A Greek algorithm in Latin

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
        use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;
        maximum inquementum tum biguttam egresso scribe.
        meo maximo vestibulo perlegamentum da.
        da duo tum maximum conscribementa meis listis.
        dum listis decapitamentum da nexto
            fac sic
                nextum tum novumversum scribe egresso.
                lista sic hoc recidementum nextum cis vannementa da listis.
            cis.

See the link for rationale (interesting from a linguistics p.o.v.), history, and
coding examples:
