You also have a wide range of traditional pirate vocabulary to scatter through your code and make it all the more piratical, although they won't cause anything to actually happen, except perhaps terrifying any landlubbers who happen to read your code.
These are case-insensitive and can be followed by a non-word character (i.e., space or punctuation), allowing you to mix and match at will. Examples:
AVAST! YE SCURVY DOG!
Arrrrrr. Shiver me timbers matey.
Yar! Curse thy deadlights, sprog!
yo-ho-ho, scallywags

Earle Martin <hex [at] cpan [dot] org>, but really Simon Wistow <simon [at] twoshortplanks [dot] com>, because this is a straight rip of his the Acme::Lingua::Strine::Perl manpage!
It's all london.pm's fault, of course.
This module is dedicated to Captain Jack Sparrow, the best pirate I have ever seen.
