NAME
    Text::MeCab - Alternate Interface To libmecab

SYNOPSIS
      use Text::MeCab;
      my $mecab = Text::MeCab->new({
        rcfile             => $rcfile,
        dicdir             => $dicdir,
        userdic            => $userdic,
        lattice_level      => $lattice_level,
        all_morphs         => $all_morphs,
        output_format_type => $output_format_type,
        partial            => $partial,
        node_format        => $node_format,
        unk_format         => $unk_format,
        bos_format         => $bos_format,
        eos_format         => $eos_format,
        input_buffer_size  => $input_buffer_soap,
        allocate_sentence  => $allocate_sentence,
        nbest              => $nbest,
        theta              => $theta,
      });

      for (my $node = $mecab->parse($text); $node; $node = $node->next) {
         # See perdoc for Text::MeCab::Node for list of methods
         print $node->surface, "\n";
      }

      # use constants
      use Text::MeCab qw(:all);
      use Text::MeCab qw(MECAB_NODE_NODE);

      # want to use a command line arguments?
      my $mecab = Text::MeCab->new("--userdic=/foo/bar/baz", "-P");

      # check what mecab version we compiled against?
      print "Compiled with ", Text::MeCab::MECAB_VERSION, "\n";

DESCRIPTION
    libmecab (http://mecab.sourceforge.ne.jp) already has a perl interface
    built with it, so why a new module? I just feel that while a subtle
    difference, making the perl interface through a tied hash is just...
    weird.

    So Text::MeCab gives you a more natural, Perl-ish way to access
    libmecab!

METHODS
  new HASHREF | LIST
    Creates a new Text::MeCab instance.

    You can either specify a hashref and use named parameters, or you can
    use the exact command line arguments that the mecab command accepts.

    Below is the list of accepted named options. See the man page for mecab
    for details about each option.

    rcfile
    dicdir
    lattice_level
    all_morphs
    output_format_type
    partial
    node_format
    unk_format
    bos_format
    eos_format
    input_buffer_size
    allocate_sentence
    nbest
    theta

  parse SCALAR
    Parses the given text via mecab, and returns a mecab node object.
