The one thing about the keywords service from Yahoo! is that it's prone to returning keywords with common stems. For example if I was talking a lot about sheep it might return
sheep, sheep shearing, sheep dipping, sheep rustling
when really all I want to do is have it return 'sheep'. Enter Text::CommonParts which will also do the trick of
taking
sheep shearing, sheep dipping, sheep rustling, sheep shearing shears, sheep shearing shed
and returning
sheep, sheep shearing
Given a singleton
thing one, thing two, another thing
it does the right thing and returns
thing, another thing
It has occurred to me that I may want a more complicated API that returns, instead of a list of common parts, a hash of common parts with the key being the part and the value being a list of the snipped off tails.
