Is there no end to the useful modules on CPAN? Soon there will be no more wheels to re-invent!

    They will combine the exisiting modules in different combination to do more powerful work. Think : Number of Combination of any 2 modules out of 1000 modules, is approximately 500000.

    Said that.. new devices and software will always encourage new modules.

    Unfortunately, natural language parsing still has a lot of reinventing to do. While this module will work with simple sentences, I can promise you that it will break and give you misinformation frequently with real world texts. I work for a company that specializes in natural language processing and I can tell you that there is NO technology out there that will give 100% accurate NLP results in real world texts, and any one that will get close will not be free. That said, if your texts are fairly structured and use simple sentences, a link parser will probably do okay.

      Any specific suggestions for making it more robust? I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I would appreciate improvements... :)

    Not so -- there is no limit to what mankind does not know. New wheels will be invented for reinventing.
