NAME
Text::Sentence - module for splitting text into sentences
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Sentence;
use locale;
use POSIX qw( locale_h );
setlocale( LC_CTYPE, 'iso_8859_1' );
@sentences = split_sentences( $text );DESCRIPTION
The Text::Sentence module contains the function split_sentences, which splits text into its constituent sentences, based on a fairly approximate regex. If you set the locale before calling it, it will deal correctly with locale dependant capitalization to identify sentence boundaries. Certain well know exceptions, such as abreviations, may cause incorrect segmentations.
