I tried to implement this using the .trans method on strings,
but couldn't find the right set of arguments to pass to .trans
(I kept getting "Must pass a List of Pairs for transliteration"
exceptions.)
I think that .trans needs to be reworked -- once that is
done we can easily fix the .perl method for strings.
