For instance, "horse", "horses", and "horsing" all become "hors". Most commonly, stemming is deployed as part of a search application, allowing searches for a given term to match documents which contain other forms of that term. . This module is very similar to Lingua::Stem|Lingua::Stem -- however, Lingua::Stem is pure Perl, while Lingua::Stem::Snowball is an XS module which provides a Perl interface to the C version of the Snowball stemmers.
