NAME

Lingua::PT::Hyphenate - Separates Portuguese words in syllables

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::PT::Hyphenate;

@syllables = hyphenate("teste")   # @syllables now hold ('tes', 'te')

DESCRIPTION

Separates Portuguese words into syllables.

The module currently works based on known syllables. There are two main disadvantages to this:

1 -> If a syllable for your word isn't contemplated, there's some chance you won't get the result you want.

2 -> Special cases have to be contemplated with the current algorithm.

I will have to do something about this in a near future.
