This is the Text::Metaphone module with shared libraries compiled for
MacPerl. Shared libraries run only on PPC and CFM68K versions, not
non-CFM 68K versions.
This was compiled with MPW and Codewarrior. Passed all tests.
I have no 68K machine so I can't test the CFM68K version. Let me
know of any problems.
I had to change the file "metaphone.c" to the name "metaphone_c.c",
and changed the Makefile.PL accordingly, since Mac OS filesystems
are not case-sensitive.
Also, see the MMP page:
http://pudge.net/mmp/
Best installed using cpan-mac, either with the CPAN shell,
or the installme droplet. From the CPAN shell, type:
cpan> install CNANDOR/Text-Metaphn-1.95-bin-1-Mac.tgz

NAME
Text::Metaphone - A modern soundex. Phonetic encoding of words.
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Metaphone;
$phoned_words = Metaphone('Schwern');
DESCRIPTION
C<Metaphone()> is a function whereby a string/word is broken down into
a rough approximation of its english phonetic pronunciation. Very
similar in concept and purpose to soundex, but much more
comprehensive in its approach.
