Text-Hyphen Text::Hyphen module is the implementation of the famous Knuth-Liang algorithm to hyphenate words in text. That means using this module you can determine positions inside words where it is possible to insert a hyphen to break a line of text. The algorithm is thoroughly documented in Franklin Mark Liang's Ph.D. thesis available on CTAN (e.g. http://www.tug.org/docs/liang/liang-thesis.pdf) and is used in TeX. The interesting property of this algorithm is that it isn't based on a set of rules but instead uses a sophisticatedly compressed dictionary of patterns. The original Knuth patterns for English are in public domain and included with this implementation. The Text::Hyphen distribution does not have any dependencies and will probably work on old perls. (XXX rephrase after cpantesters reports) This is 0.1 version.
