=head1 NAME

C<Lingua::EN::Infinitive> - Determine the infinitive form of a conjugated word

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Lingua::EN::Infinitive;

	my($spell) = Lingua::EN::Infinitive -> new();
	my($word)  = 'rove';

	# Method 1:
	my($word1, $word2, $suffix, $rule) = $spell -> stem($word);

	# Method 2:
	$spell -> stem($word);
	my($word1, $word2, $suffix, $rule) =
	(
		$spell -> {'word1'},  # A possibility.
		$spell -> {'word2'},  # A possibility, or ''.
		$spell -> {'suffix'},
		$spell -> {'rule'},
	);

	print "Conjugated: $word. Infinitive: $word1. \n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Determine the infinitive form of a conjugated word. Also, determine the suffix used to
identify which rule to apply to transform the conjugated word into the infinitive form.

Either 1 or 2 possible infinitives are returned. You must check that the first is really
an English word. If it is, then it is the result. If it is not valid, then check the second.

Failure to deconjugate is indicated by $word1 eq ''.

In general, you can ignore the 3rd and 4th values returned from stem().

The algorithm is based on McIlroy's article (see below), after first checking for irregular
words.

In the hash 'suffix2Rule', you'll see the key 'order'. This specifies the sort order
in which to check McIlroy's rules. I've changed his ordering in a number of places.

=head1 INSTALLATION

You install C<Lingua::EN::Infinitive>, as you would install any perl module library,
by running these commands:

	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	make install

If you want to install a private copy of C<Lingua::EN::Infinitive> in your home
directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
something like this command:

	perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
		or
	perl Makefile.PL LIB=C:/Perl/Site/Lib

If, like me, you don't have permission to write man pages into unix system
directories, use:

	make pure_install

instead of make install. This option is secreted in the middle of p 414 of the
second edition of the dromedary book.

=head1 WARNING

Don't make the false assumption that

	"$word1$suffix" eq $word
		or
	"$word2$suffix" eq $word

=head1 REFERENCE

	Title:   Development of a Spelling List
