profanity checker

[johnm1958]

Hi

I am on day 2 of my perl learning ladder. I have a flash game where the user can input their name and their score is shown on a scoreboard. the name and score go to a small routine written in perl and it returns the present highest scores.

I am concerned about users inputting profanity as their name. Is there a routine that I could download that would filter out profanity that a newbie could handle?
thanks

Not an easy assignment for anyone. No matter how many words you can think of, there will always be more.
I would suggest that the script accepts a couple of initials along with the score and then you can get on with the more interesting side of programming.

Regexp::Common:rofanity, you may need a few dictionaries to seed it though, and there are some colourful ones out there ...
