RELATED LIBRARIES
- My heartfelt thanks to Adam Kilgarriff for his work on
- the BNC
(British National Corpus) which forms the basis for the - word.db.
I have added and massaged it a bit, but I would never - have gotten
this far without it. The BNC can be visited at
http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uc/~Adam.Kilgarriff/bnc - readme.html.
DATA LOCATION
- Harvey uses algorithms AND data to work. The program
- looks for
a file called 'system.dat' in the startup directory. In - this file
it looks for a line that reads 'path=your_path', where - your_path
is the directory where the data resides.
INSTALATION NOTES
- Install modules in this order, Word.pm, Verb.pm and then
- Harvey.pm.
Place the data files (noun.txt, verb.txt, adjective.txt, - adverb.txt,
word.txt and word.db) in a data directory and create a - file
called system.dat in your working directory to point to - the data
(see DATA LOCATION). - the perl manpage.
