I'm currently working on a project for which it appears that
Lingua::EN::Tagger would be quite useful. Unfortunately, this will have to run on a server which is still using perl 5.6.1, which appears to be incompatible with this module, instead complaining
Unrecognized escape \p in character class passed through before HERE m
+ark in regex m/(?<![\p << HERE {IsWord}\s'])'(?=.*\p{IsWord})/ at Lin
+gua/EN/Tagger.pm line XXX
for several different values of XXX. CPAN only shows two versions of this module, both dated 2005 and only a couple months apart.
Does anyone know of a module which provides similar functionality (i.e., extracting noun phrases from text) and will work on 5.6.1?
