=head1 NAME

Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez - Regular Expressions Support for Geez Language.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #
 #  Overloading Perl REs:
 #
 use utf8;
 use Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez 'overload';

 :


 if ( /([=አ=])ለም[=ጸ=][=ሃ=]ይ/ ) {
   #
   # do something
   #
   :
 }

 :
 :

 #
 #  Without overloading:
 #
 use utf8;
 require Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez;

 my $string = "([=አ=])ለም[=ጸ=][=ሃ=]ይ/";
 my $re = Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez::getRe ( $re );

 s/abc($re)xyz/"abc".fixForm($1,6)."xyz"/eg;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez module provides POSIX style character class
definitions for working with the localized use of Ethiopic syllabary in
the Geez (gez) language.  The character classes provided by the
Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez package correspond to properties of the script
under Geez orthography rules.

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez uses Regexp::Ethiopic so generally you
would not need to import both.  Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez conditionally
exports the hash %GeezEquivalence 
should you wish to use them.  Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez can also
export %EthiopiClass of Regexp::Ethiopic:

use Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez qw(%EthiopicClasses %GeezEquivalence %GeezClassEquivalence);

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Geez package is NOT derived from the Regexp class
and may not be instantiated into an object.  See the files in the
doc/ and examples/ directories that are included with this package.

=head1 REQUIRES

Works perfectly with Perl 5.8.0, may work with Perl 5.6.x but has
not yet been tested.

=head1 BUGS

None presently known.
