Word frequency analyser
am 23.10.2005 16:51:47 von DVH
Hi,
Does anyone happen to know if there's a convenient module which will analyse
at least two XML files and list the most frequently-used words?
(It would have to be able to reject tags and certain words such as "the" and
"is")

split in the handler on non-words, use a hash for counting. Delete
afterwards all occurences of the, is, etc.
Note that this is a very simplistic approach, since it words are hypenated,
it counts them as two different ones.

Seaching for "word frequency" on search.cpan.org turns up some modules
that are designed for this sort of thing, and may take some of the
trickier issues into account.
