SYNOPSIS

9           use Lingua::Stem::Fr;
10
11           my $stems = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => $word_list_reference,
12                                                -locale => 'fr',
13                                                -exceptions => $exceptions_hash,
14                                             });

16           my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );

DESCRIPTION

19       This module use the a modified version of the Porter Stemming Algorithm
20       to return a stemmed words.
21
22       The algorithm is implemented as described in:
23
24       http://snowball.tartarus.org/french/stemmer.html
25
26       with some improvement.
27
28       The code is carefully crafted to work in conjunction with the
29       Lingua::Stem module by Benjamin Franz.  This french version is based
30       too, on the work of Aldo Calpini (Italian Version)
31

METHODS

33       ·   stem({ -words => \@words, -locale => 'fr', -exceptions =>
34           \%exceptions }); Stems a list of passed words. Returns an anonymous
35           list reference to the stemmed words.
36
37           Example:
38
39               my $stemmed_words = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => \@words,
40                                                            -locale => 'fr',
41                                                            -exceptions => \%exceptions,
42                                                         });
43
44       ·   stem_word( $word );
45
46           Stems a single word and returns the stem directly.
47
48           Example:
49
50               my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );
51
52       ·   stem_caching({ -level => 0|1|2 });
53
54           Sets the level of stem caching.
55
56           '0' means 'no caching'. This is the default level.
57
58           '1' means 'cache per run'. This caches stemming results during a
59           single
60               call to 'stem'.
61
62           '2' means 'cache indefinitely'. This caches stemming results until
63               either the process exits or the 'clear_stem_cache' method is
64           called.
65
66       ·   clear_stem_cache;
67
68           Clears the cache of stemmed words
