OT Perl help

Any easy way to make this script take it's input from the command line like so: ./porter_stemming.pl string where string is the argument? #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Porter stemmer in Perl. Few comments, but it's easy to follow against the rules in the original # paper, in # # Porter, 1980, An algorithm for suffix stripping, Program, Vol. 14, # no. 3, pp 130-137, # # see also http://www.omsee.com/~martin/stem.html # Release 1 local %step2list; local %step3list; local ($c, $v, $C, $V, $mgr0, $meq1, $mgr1, $_v); sub stem { my ($stem, $suffix, $firstch); my $w = shift; if (length($w) < 3) { return $w; } # length at least 3 # now map initial y to Y so that the patterns never treat it as vowel: $w =~ /^./; $firstch = $&; if ($firstch =~ /^y/) { $w = ucfirst $w; } # Step 1a if ($w =~ /(ss|i)es$/) { $w=$`.$1; } elsif ($w =~ /([^s])s$/) { $w=$`.$1; } # Step 1b if ($w =~ /eed$/) { if ($` =~ /$mgr0/o) { chop($w); } } elsif ($w =~ /(ed|ing)$/) { $stem = $`; if ($stem =~ /$_v/o) { $w = $stem; if ($w =~ /(at|bl|iz)$/) { $w .= "e"; } elsif ($w =~ /([^aeiouylsz])\1$/) { chop($w); } elsif ($w =~ /^${C}${v}[^aeiouwxy]$/o) { $w .= "e"; } } } # Step 1c if ($w =~ /y$/) { $stem = $`; if ($stem =~ /$_v/o) { $w = $stem."i"; } } # Step 2 if ($w =~ /(ational|tional|enci|anci|izer|bli|alli|entli|eli|ousli|ization|ation|ator| alism|iveness|fulness|ousness|aliti|iviti|biliti|logi)$/) { $stem = $`; $suffix = $1; if ($stem =~ /$mgr0/o) { $w = $stem . $step2list{$suffix}; } } # Step 3 if ($w =~ /(icate|ative|alize|iciti|ical|ful|ness)$/) { $stem = $`; $suffix = $1; if ($stem =~ /$mgr0/o) { $w = $stem . $step3list{$suffix}; } } # Step 4 if ($w =~ /(al|ance|ence|er|ic|able|ible|ant|ement|ment|ent|ou|ism|ate|iti|ous|ive|ize )$/) { $stem = $`; if ($stem =~ /$mgr1/o) { $w = $stem; } } elsif ($w =~ /(s|t)(ion)$/) { $stem = $` . $1; if ($stem =~ /$mgr1/o) { $w = $stem; } } # Step 5 if ($w =~ /e$/) { $stem = $`; if ($stem =~ /$mgr1/o or ($stem =~ /$meq1/o and not $stem =~ /^${C}${v}[^aeiouwxy]$/o)) { $w = $stem; } } if ($w =~ /ll$/ and $w =~ /$mgr1/o) { chop($w); } # and turn initial Y back to y if ($firstch =~ /^y/) { $w = lcfirst $w; } return $w; } sub initialise { %step2list = ( 'ational'=>'ate', 'tional'=>'tion', 'enci'=>'ence', 'anci'=>'ance', 'izer'=>'ize', 'bli'=>'ble', 'alli'=>'al', 'entli'=>'ent', 'eli'=>'e', 'ousli'=>'ous', 'ization'=>'ize', 'ation'=>'ate', 'ator'=>'ate', 'alism'=>'al', 'iveness'=>'ive', 'fulness'=>'ful', 'ousness'=>'ous', 'aliti'=>'al', 'iviti'=>'ive', 'biliti'=>'ble', 'logi'=>'log'); %step3list = ('icate'=>'ic', 'ative'=>'', 'alize'=>'al', 'iciti'=>'ic', 'ical'=>'ic', 'ful'=>'', 'ness'=>''); $c = "[^aeiou]"; # consonant $v = "[aeiouy]"; # vowel $C = "${c}[^aeiouy]*"; # consonant sequence $V = "${v}[aeiou]*"; # vowel sequence $mgr0 = "^(${C})?${V}${C}"; # [C]VC... is m>0 $meq1 = "^(${C})?${V}${C}(${V})?" .

Run initialise() to set things up, then stem($word) to stem $word, as here: initialise(); while (<>) { { /^([^a-zA-Z]*)(.*)/ ; print $1; $_ = $2; unless ( /^([a-zA-Z]+)(.*)/ ) { last; } $word = lc $1; # turn to lower case before calling: $_ = $2; $word = stem($word); print $word; redo; } print "\n"; } # inputs taken from the files on the arg list, output to stdout. # As an easy speed-up, one might create a hash of word=>stemmed form, and look up each new # word in the hash, only calling stem() if the word was not found there.
