I was planning to write a module to determine the readability of English text. It would analyse a file or string and determine 1. number of letters, 2. number of words, average word length and words per sentence 3. word frequency count 4. number of sentences 5. number of paragraphs, sentences per paragraph 6. readability indices like Fog &Flesch/Kincaide The first 5 items are not specific to a spoken language, so I thought a name like Text::Statistics could be used. But item 6 requires a syllable count (using Lingua::EN:Syllable). So now I am leaning more towards Lingua:EN::Readability. Any comments are appreciated Regards, Kim: www.ozemail.com.au/~kimaryan
