Latin Vocabulary

I've been looking for a Latin vocabulary testing module... that was free... because I'm a cheap-ass.  Well, I couldn't find one.  SO, I wrote a little chunk of code to parse a latin dictionary I found on-line into an XML format suitable for KWordQuiz.  I put it all on-line here if you're interested -- all you'd really need is kwordquiz (which is free) and my kvtml file.  I don't think the dictionary I found was very good, but it was unrestricted by copyright, so I can't complain.

I included the little bit of perl I wrote to mangle the dictionary into XML.  If you're interested.
