COUNT(1)

📦 version 1.31, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 COUNT(1) — aka count.pl, the ngram girlie

okay so bestie, welcome to the COUNT(1) page, which is really all about count.pl — a lil Perl script living its best life in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

count.pl — literally just counts the frequency of Ngrams in text 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no notes:

count.pl takes as input one or more text files and calculate the ngram
frequency for the whole corpus.

so yeah — you hand it one or more text files, and it computes the ngram frequency for the whole corpus. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie… the description is a scavenger hunt. it says:

See perldoc README.pod

that's it. that's the description. the real lore lives in README.pod, so go read that with perldoc and come back 🫶 (not me being a forwarding-address of a manpage 😭)

🎀 BUGS 🎀

this section is, and I cannot stress this enough, empty. no bugs listed. zero. nada. the BUGS section is giving main character silence 💀 (that doesn't mean bug-free, it means nobody wrote anything here — just so we're clear 🙈)
