What are you trying to teach? If the aim is to teach perl then you really need to just bite the bullet and teach them perl as it is. If, on the other hand, the aim is to teach them programming, then maybe there is a pedagogical language you could use with keywords in $local_language. I know, for example, that there is a BASIC-variant in French, and someone else has mentioned Portugol. Both, I would imagine, would be reasonably comprehensible to a Spaniard or Latin American.
But whatever you do, a plain old Filter::Simple source filter is not the solution. By the time you've managed to get it working OK such that it doesn't "translate" quoted text, or trip up on keywords that contain other keywords ('and' and 'rand', 'or' 'for' and 'foreach', 'int' 'print' and 'sprintf', no doubt there are others), or methods and functions from other libraries (many classes have a 'print' method), you'll have written a perl interpreter yourself.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
