module to split text into sentences

[Graziella]

Hello,

does anyone know of a good and easy to use module to split English text into sentences ?

Thank you,

Why not just change the default record seperator to "." as in:

$/ = ".";

my @sentence_array = (<MYFILE>);

That should put each sentence in an array element.

One cannot simply set the default record seperator to "."
because there are plenty of usages of "." that do not indicate the splitting of a sentence.

Agreed, just as there are other symbols which denote the end of sentences too '!', '?' etc.
