WWW::Babelfish, version .02 STATUS ====== This is ALPHA software; use at your own risk. Comments, bug reports, etc. are appreciated. DESCRIPTION =========== This module is a simple perl front-end to the Babelfish translation server . It's more fun than useful, but it might have a place in IRC/talk clients. It also makes a (feeble) attempt at breaking longer pieces of text up into chunks that Babelfish can handle and then reassambling them. I think the Babelfish server itself is a wonderfully audacious hack and much more could be done along these lines, especially if there was some sort of user feedback mechanism. There's a great free software project here for someone who knows something about linguistics (not me). INSTALLATION ============ This module needs the following modules, all available from CPAN: HTTP::Request LWP::UserAgent HTML::TokeParser After unpacking the tar file, do the usual: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install There is embedded POD documentation in Babelfish.pm COPYRIGHT ========= Copyright (c) 1999 Daniel J.
