NAME

Pod::Definitions::Heuristic -- Apply heuristics to headings defined in Pod, presumably in English, for indexing and cross-referencing

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

my $h = Pod::Headings::Heuristic->new(
            text => "Splitting the infinitive");
$h->clean();  # returns "Infinitive, splitting the"

DESCRIPTION

This class assumes that headings are written in the English language, and in a style typical of Pod pages written for CPAN. A set of heuristics are applied to select keywords and place them at the start of the heading.

METHODS

new

Creates a new object of type Pod::Headings::Heuristic. To this should be passed a list of items to be saved as a hash in the object. The only item currently required or defined is 'text'.

clean

Applies the keyword-finding heuristics on text in 'text' and returns a best guess version with the keyword in first position.

text

The content of the text to be parsed.
