NAME Acme::Mobile::Therbligs - count keystrokes to write mobile text messages SYNOPSIS use Acme::Mobile::Therbligs; $thurbs = count_therbligs("See u l8r"); # $thurbs == 23 DESCRIPTION This module counts the number of *therbligs* used to write mobile text messages. A therblig is unit used to measure the number of actions (in this case keypresses or pauses) for people who like to optimize industrial processes. So you can use this module to determine useless facts such as that it takes as many keypresses to write "later" or "great" as it does "l8r" and "gr8". See the module POD for more details.
