Lingua::EN::Syllable - Routine for estimating syllable count in words. Lingua::EN::Syllable provides one subroutine, syllable(), which estimates the number of syllables in the word passed to it. It guesses correctly about 80-90% of the time, but it's smaller and faster than a dictionary lookup. So you can't really use it for writing random haiku, but you can do things like estimate reading grade level. INSTALLATION Follow the typical steps: after untarring the distribution into some random directory, do perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Greg Fast 11 Sept 98
