I am seeking y'all's input regarding a Perl module I wrote called
Lingua::Concordance, attached.

Of late, I have become keenly interested in text mining. Along the way
I read Roger Bilisoly's book -- Practical Text Mining with Perl. [1]
Combine this interest with my long-standing enthusiasm for
concordances, and I implemented the concordance applications and
subroutines found there (pgs. 169-185). The result is the attached
Perl distribution, Lingua-Concordance-0.01.tar.gz. Ultimately, I hope
to use this module to replace the concordance scripts I am currently
using in my Alex Catalogue. [2]

While I don't expect you to necessarily install the module, it would
be great if you were to unpack it, make it, test it, and see if you
can run the included bin/concordance.pl script. Despite my experience,
writing modules intended for distributed on CPAN is still a bit of a
black art to me.

"Thanks Roger!"
