Lingua::Phonology This module allows for the creation and manipulation of language phonologies computationally. It consists of a top-level module, Lingua::Phonology, and several sub-modules. Documentation for all of these modules can be found on CPAN, or in the manual pages. Install: On Unix and its kin, unzip and untar the package. This will create a temporary directory like 'Lingua-Phonology-0.00', where "0.00" will represent the current version number. Change to that directory and run: perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install That should be all that's needed. Alternately, you can just use the CPAN perl module, which will do all of this for you. There's no reason for Lingua::Phonology not to work on other OS's, but you're on your own for installation if your OS doesn't support make.
