Description : Perl interface to Snowball stemmers
Stemming reduces related words to a common root form. 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.
What is the relation of this module to things like
liblingua-stem-snowball-da-perl, libsnowball-norwegian-perl, and
libsnowball-swedish-perl?
These existing modules are pure-perl implementations of individual
language stemming algorithms, whereas Lingua::Stem::Snowball contains
bindings to the C implementation of snowball stemmers for around 12
different languages.
See also the rest of the long description which you snipped, and
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Lingua-Stem/lib/Lingua/Stem.pod#Comparision_with_Lingua::Stem::Snowball
(Lingua::Stem uses Lingua::Stem::Snowball::{Da,No,Se}
modules, in addition to its own stemmers.
Cheers,
Dominic.

This module is very similar to 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.
