Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : liblingua-en-inflect-number-perl Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Simon Cozens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SI/SIMON/ * License : GPL (1 or greater) or Perl Artistic Description : Force number of words to singular or plural
This module extends the functionality of Lingua::EN::Inflect (the liblingua-en-inflect-perl package) with three new functions. . number() takes a word, and determines its number. It returns whether the word is singular, plural, or ambiguous for words that can be either singular or plural. . Based on the number() function there are to_S() and to_PL() which take a word and convert it forcefully either to singular or to plural. In Lingua::EN::Inflect funny things happen if you try to pluralise an already-plural word, but this module does the right thing. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
