#NAME

Pod::Wordlist - English words that come up in Perl documentation

#VERSION

version 1.27

#DESCRIPTION

Pod::Wordlist is used by Pod::Spell, providing a set of words that are English jargon words that come up in Perl documentation, but which are not to be found in general English lexicons. (For example: autovivify, backreference, chroot, stringify, wantarray.)

You can also use this wordlist with your word processor by just pasting share/wordlist's content into your wordprocessor, deleting the leading Perl code so that only the wordlist remains, and then spellchecking this resulting list and adding every word in it to your private lexicon.

#METHODS

#learn_stopwords

$wordlist->learn_stopwords( $text );

Modifies the stopword list based on a text block. See the rules for adding stopwords for details.

#is_stopword

if ( $wordlist->is_stopword( $word ) ) { ... }

Returns true if the word is found in the stopword list.

#strip_stopwords

my $out = $wordlist->strip_stopwords( $text );

Returns a string with space separated words from the original text with stopwords removed.

#ATTRIBUTES

#wordlist

ref $self->wordlist eq 'HASH'; # true

This is the instance of the wordlist

#no_wide_chars

If true, words with characters outside the Latin-1 range 0x00 to 0xFF will be stripped like stopwords.

#WORDLIST

Note that the scope of this file is only English, specifically American English. (But you may find in useful to incorporate into your own lexicons, even if they are for other dialects/languages.)

remove any q{'s} before adding to the list.

The list should be sorted and uniqued. The following will work (with GNU Coreutils ).

sort share/wordlist -u > /tmp/sorted && mv /tmp/sorted share/wordlist
