Text::MeCab - Alternate Interface To libmecab

SYNOPSIS

use Text::MeCab;
my $mecab = Text::MeCab->new({
  rcfile             => $rcfile,
  dicdir             => $dicdir,
  userdic            => $userdic,
  lattice_level      => $lattice_level,
  all_morphs         => $all_morphs,
  output_format_type => $output_format_type,
  partial            => $partial,
  node_format        => $node_format,
  unk_format         => $unk_format,
  bos_format         => $bos_format,
  eos_format         => $eos_format,
  input_buffer_size  => $input_buffer_soap,
  allocate_sentence  => $allocate_sentence,
  nbest              => $nbest,
  theta              => $theta,
});

for (my $node = $mecab->parse($text); $node; $node = $node->next) {
   # See perdoc for Text::MeCab::Node for list of methods
   print $node->surface, "\n";
}

# use constants
use Text::MeCab qw(:all);
use Text::MeCab qw(MECAB_NODE_NODE);

# want to use a command line arguments?
my $mecab = Text::MeCab->new("--userdic=/foo/bar/baz", "-P");

DESCRIPTION

libmecab (http://mecab.sourceforge.ne.jp) already has a perl interface built with it, so why a new module? I just feel that while a subtle difference, making the perl interface through a tied hash is just... weird.

So Text::MeCab gives you a more natural, Perl-ish way to access libmecab!

METHODS

new HASHREF | LIST

Creates a new Text::MeCab instance.

You can either specify a hashref and use named parameters, or you can use the exact command line arguments that the mecab command accepts.

Below is the list of accepted named options. See the man page for mecab for details about each option.

rcfile

dicdir

lattice_level

all_morphs

output_format_type

partial

node_format

unk_format

bos_format

eos_format

input_buffer_size

allocate_sentence

nbest

theta

parse SCALAR

Parses the given text via mecab, and returns a mecab node object.
