NAME WordListMod::Bloom - Provide word_exists() that uses bloom filter VERSION This document describes version 0.003 of WordListMod::Bloom (from Perl distribution WordListMod-Bloom), released on 2020-05-01. SYNOPSIS In your WordList/EN/Foo.pm: package WordList::EN::Foo; __DATA__ word1 word2 ... In your WordListBloom/EN/Foo.pm: package WordListBloom::EN::Foo; 1; __DATA__ (The actual bloom filter, base64-encoded) Then: use WordList::Mod qw(get_mod_wordlist); my $wl = get_mod_wordlist("EN::Foo", "Bloom"); $wl->word_exists("foo"); # uses bloom filter to check for existence. DESCRIPTION EXPERIMENTAL. This mod provides an alternative "word_exists()" method that checks a bloom filter located in the data section of "WordListBloom::". This provides a low startup-overhead way to check an item against a big list (e.g. millions). Note that testing using a bloom filter can result in a false positive (i.e. "word_exists()" returns true but the word is not actually in the list. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
