NAME Text::Pluralize - simple pluralization routine DESCRIPTION Text::Pluralize provides a lightweight routine to produce the proper form, singular or plural, of a word or phrase. Its intended purpose is to produce messages for the user, whether error messages or informational messages, without the awkward "1 file(s) copied" appearance.
