Lingua::Identify v.0.15
Months pass without anything happening with a module, and then, on the same day:
* I add some more features to respond to a friend's request, and then...
* I get an email from someone wanting to help, and then...
* I see another module with the same purpose being uploaded.
All in the same day
Lingua::Identify is now on version 0.15 (on its way to CPAN), with support for big files working properly (I hope), 7 new languages (now up to 33, thanks to George Wilson) and a dummy-mode
The dummy-mode helps me a lot while developing. You tell the module "but do this in dummy mode" and it prepares everything but, instead of analyzing the text, returns you what it prepared, so you can see what's under the hood. Great for debugging
I also told the author of the other module about mine. I hope he finds it interesting

This *is* quite useful :-)
And, moreover, it's one of the best tools out there for the job, as most of its competitors aren't free, most don't have a nice range of languages, and almost all of them are rather boring, when it comes to flexibility. They don't allow you to select methods, they simply implement one! Most don't allow you to teach new languages to the tool, most will only work in a specific platform and some of them won't even allow you to select which languages are a
