Lingua-Stem-It

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/algorithms/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).
