Lingua::EN::Syllable - Routine for estimating syllable count in words.
Lingua::EN::Syllable provides one subroutine, syllable(), which
estimates the number of syllables in the word passed to it. It
guesses correctly about 80-90% of the time, but it's smaller and
faster than a dictionary lookup. So you can't really use it for
writing random haiku, but you can do things like estimate reading
grade level.
INSTALLATION

random directory, do
