NAME Lingua::Stem::It - Porter's stemming algorithm for Italian SYNOPSIS use Lingua::Stem::It; my $stems = Lingua::Stem::It::stem({ -words => $word_list_reference, -locale => 'it', -exceptions => $exceptions_hash, }); my $stem = Lingua::Stem::It::stem_word( $word ); DESCRIPTION This module applies the Porter Stemming Algorithm to its parameters, returning the stemmed words. The algorithm is implemented exactly (I hope :-) as described in: http://snowball.tartarus.org/italian/stemmer.html The code is carefully crafted to work in conjunction with the the Lingua::Stem module by Benjamin Franz, from which I've also borrowed some functionalities (caching and exception list).
