Sunday, February 21, 1999 This is the Text::Metaphone module with shared libraries compiled for MacPerl. Shared libraries run only on PPC and CFM68K versions, not non-CFM 68K versions. This was compiled with MPW and Codewarrior. Passed all tests. I have no 68K machine so I can't test the CFM68K version. Let me know of any problems. I had to change the file "metaphone.c" to the name "metaphone_c.c", and changed the Makefile.PL accordingly, since Mac OS filesystems are not case-sensitive. Also, see the MMP page: http://pudge.net/mmp/ Best installed using cpan-mac, either with the CPAN shell, or the installme droplet. From the CPAN shell, type: cpan> install CNANDOR/Text-Metaphn-1.95-bin-1-Mac.tgz -- Chris Nandor mailto:pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ %PGPKey = ('B76E72AD', [1024, '0824090B CE73CA10 1FF77F13 8180B6B6']) #=================================== NAME Text::Metaphone - A modern soundex. Phonetic encoding of words. SYNOPSIS use Text::Metaphone; $phoned_words = Metaphone('Schwern'); DESCRIPTION C is a function whereby a string/word is broken down into a rough approximation of its english phonetic pronunciation. Very similar in concept and purpose to soundex, but much more comprehensive in its approach. AUTHOR Michael G Schwern WHAT IS THIS? This is Text::Metaphone, a perl module.
