NAME
    Text::MeCab - Alternate Interface To libmecab

SYNOPSIS
      use Text::MeCab;
      my $mecab = Text::MeCab->new({
        rcfile => $rcfile,
        dicdir => $dicdir,
        uuserdic => $userdic,
        lattice_level => $lattice_level,
        all_morphs    => $all_morphs,
        output_format_type => $output_format_type,
        partial            => $partial,
        node_format        => $node_format,
        unk_format         => $unk_format,
        bos_format         => $bos_format,
        eos_format         => $eos_format,
        input_buffer_size  => $input_buffer_soap,
        allocate_sentence  => $allocate_sentence,
        nbest              => $nbest,
        theta              => $theta,
      });

      for (my $node = $mecab->parse($text); $node; $node = $node->next) {
         # See perdoc for Text::MeCab::Node for list of methods
         print $node->surface, "\n";
      }

      # use constants
      use Text::MeCab qw(:all);
      use Text::MeCab qw(MECAB_NODE_NODE);

DESCRIPTION
    libmecab (http://mecab.sourceforge.ne.jp) already has a perl interface
    built with it, so why a new module? I just feel that while a subtle
    difference, making the perl interface through a tied hash is just...
    weird.

    So Text::MeCab gives you a more naturally Perl way to access libmecab!

METHODS
  new HASHREF
    Creates a new Text::MeCab instance. You can specify most the options
    that you could normally pass to the command line "mecab" command.

    Below is the list of accepted options. See the man page for mecab for
    details about each option.

    rcfile
    dicdir
    lattice_level
    all_morphs
    output_format_type
    partial
    node_format
    unk_format
    bos_format
    eos_format
    input_buffer_size
    allocate_sentence
    nbest
    theta

  parse SCALAR
    Parses the given text via mecab, and returns a mecab node object.
