my $data = word_grams_from_files( $file1, $file2 );
FUNCTIONS
word_grams
Returns a reference to an hash table with word ngrams counts for a specified string. Options are passed as a hash reference as first argument if needed.
Options include:
- ignore_case
-
Set this option to ignore text case;
- size
-
Set this option to the n-gram size you want. Notice that the value should be greater or equal to two. Also, keep in mind that the bigger size you ask for, the larger the hash will become.
- tokenize
-
This option is activated by default. Give a zero value if your document is already tokenized. In this case your text will be slitted by space characters.
word_grams_from_files
Supports the same options of word_grams
function, but receives a list of file names instead of a string.

Current method is very, very slow. if you find any faster method, please let me know. I think the bottle neck is in the tokenisation part.
