I've uploaded an update of Text::GenderFromName, originally by Jon Orwant. Quick philosophy questions:
- This module is not (entirely) backward compatible. The lists it uses for matching are complete rewrites, and the base case logic is entirely new. That said, it now accepts user-supplied lists and includes the original matching routines, so the user could theoretically run it in a backward compatible manner. Is this sufficient? - This update now has a prerequisite: Text::DoubleMetaphone. I believe in my heart of hearts that requiring this module is the Better Way to match, but again, it's a new requirement for the end user. Should I rewrite the module to make Text::DoubleMetaphone optional? Thanks in advance. This is my first CPAN module, so your brutality is appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Eamon Daly
