The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Text::WordReturn DSLIP: bdpOp description: Identifies & weights words and phrases userid: GRISKEY (Mark Griskey) chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc) communities: comp.lang.perl.modules, discussed with my Perl programmer colleagues similar: rationale: WordReturn provides a quick and easy way to retrieve a list of words or phrases in a document and returns the number of times each word or phrase appears within that document. The ability to weigh words based on their location in the document (or between specified XML/HTML tags). WordRetun was chosen as the namespace because the module does just that, returns words and phrases. This module is useful for search and "more like this" type of applications, such as Web based Usenet archives. It provides a quick and simple way to determine what the top words or phrases are in a document, or the least used. It is a useful way to post-process search results as well. This module was developed for, and is currently being used for linuxusenet.com's Linux Usenet archives and linuxhardware.net's search engine. It has proven to be useful, and I believe can be useful to others wishing to develop similiar applications. enteredby: GRISKEY (Mark Griskey) enteredon: Thu Jul 12 00:02:11 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: Text:: ::WordReturn bdpOp Identifies & weights words and phrases GRISKEY Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=82000000_efd4238ac510f11b&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=82000000_efd4238ac510f11b&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
