This module provides statistical language identification. For more details see the POD documentation embedded in the file Ident.pm, or the Lingua::Ident(3) man page after installation.
Also included is a small utility, trainlid, to build the transition matrices needed by the Lingua::Ident module. It has POD documentation embedded, too.
The data directory contains short sample texts in several languages, from which transition matrices are built for testing purposes. These matrices are inadequate for actual applications; build your own matrices from samples of at least 50KB size for optimal results.
liddemo is a demo application for Lingua::Ident. You can run it after having done "make" and "make test". It reads 20 bytes of text from standard input and prints its language. By default it uses the example matrices from the data directory. Remove the "use lib" line to use an installed version of Lingua::Ident.
