This is a problem, as the current Lingua::Phonology does have a pretty
steep learning curve. When I get to 1.0, I should write a tutorial. (BTW,
1.0 is not that far away, since 0.3, the next release, should contain the
last feature additions. Once I'm reasonably sure that there's no bugs,
then, I'll skip to 1.0 with much fanfare.)

It'd be awfully difficult to implement a *simple* sound changer like yours
in the current version of Lingua::Phonology. In 0.3 it should be easier
because there will be a text-parsing for rules.

Jesus asked them, "Who do you say that I am?"

And they answered, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground
of our being, the kerygma in which we find the ultimate meaning of our
interpersonal relationship."

And Jesus said, "What?"
