Here is some information that I’ve gathered a few years back when I was doing some research about perl working with various AI technologies…
There are plenty of CPAN modules dealing with different linguistic problems:
- Simulating typos
- Is it possible to simulate typical human typos on QWERTY or other keyboard types?
- Correcting typos, word distance
- Given two words, what is their distance? Used in spell checkers.
- Auto-correcting typos in Perl programs
- Symbol::Approx::Scalar, Symbol::Approx::Sub
- Intelligent chat and info bots
- Chatbot::Eliza module and a lot of others
- Semantic phrase parsing
- Lingua::Wordnet module
- Sonnets generated by Perl
- Automatic poetry, haiku, Coy module

AI::Prolog – Perl extension for logic programming.

See also Robert Pratte’s perl.com article, “Logic Programming with Perl and Prolog” (http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/12/15/perl_prolog.html) for more more examples.
To learn more about Prolog, see Roman Barták’s “Guide to Prolog Programming” at http://kti.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/prolog/index.html. Amongst other things, his course uses the Java applet that AI::Prolog was ported from, so his examples will generally work with this module.
AI::FANN is a Perl wrapper for the Fast Artificial Neural Network (FANN) Library available from http://fann.sourceforge.net:

Solving using Perl module
use Lingua::EN::MatchNames;
# 85% of certainty
if (name_eq("Leonardo Da Vinci", "Leonard d'Vinchi") >= 85) {
print "Match\n";
}
