Thank you very much for your careful review and comments regarding Text-NSP (the Ngram Statistics Package). In fact, it is interesting you raise these concerns as we are currently working on a version 0.75 of Text-NSP that will address the namespace concerns (by implementing a more traditional hierarchy for the measure modules). We are also trying to clean up the issues regarding our use of PATH, etc. as you describe below. That said, we are grateful for the confirmation that we are heading in the right direction, and we will make sure that our changes are in line with your suggestions below. To be honest, when we started NSP back in 2001, we knew very little about Perl (which is no excuse really, there is lots of documentation, etc.) but we made some choices that weren't so good, and clearly very non-standard. Rest assured we want to resolve these asap! We are hoping that the 0.75 release will be ready by mid-December.
