  • Thanks for noticing Lingua::EN::Fathom ;-)

    As for that tiny wrapper, it doesn't look like trying to prove anything (more) about it's capabilities (comparing to Merlyn's article), everything besides Fathom's "report" being just "bloat".

    Some simple one-liners could have been enough to demonstrate Lingua:EN::Fathom's usefulness:

    # fog report for english_textfile:
    perl -MLingua::EN::Fathom -le 'print Lingua::EN::Fathom->new->analyse_file(shift)->report;' english_textfile

    # fog report, "pipe" style:
    perl -MLingua::EN::Fathom -le 'undef $/; print Lingua::EN::Fathom->new->analyse_block(<>)->report;' < english_textfile

    # fog report for multiple files:
    perl -MLingua::EN::Fathom -le 'print Lingua::EN::Fathom->new->analyse_file($_)->report for @ARGV' english_textfile1 english_textfile2 english_textfile3

    etc
