      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.

This module counts the number of I<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".

The current version is case insensitive and assumes (by default) a
particular brand of Nokia phone. (I have no idea which model it is; it
was cheap, and it works, which is all I care about.)

A description of methods is below.
