  Description     : module for proper name parsing, normalization, recognition and classification

Text::Namess provides a number of name normalization routines, plus
high-level parsing and name comparison utilities such as those illustrated in
the synopsis.

While it tries to accommodate non-Western names, this module definitely works
better with Western names, especially English-style names.

This modules normalizes names to this format:
  Lastname(s) [Jr], Given name(s)

Some examples:
  1) Bourget, David Joseph Richard

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
