Splitting language text into syllables

My goal is similar to this as in above post. This post is pretty old so there must be new developments since then in syllabification techniques. I want to parse any text in Ukrainian, Russian and English languages into syllables via Perl. So what approach should I use to achieve this? Are there any libraries available or do I have to do a dictionary lookup? Also, whether only hyphenation is needed for syllabification?</>

Just thought I should clarify that this new root level post seems to be a continuation of two recent necropost replies made on Jan 25 2022 to an old perl question Splitting text into syllables asked by crenz in 2003. Note that the inimitable Bod made one of these necropost replies at Re: Splitting text into syllables.

Hope this clarifies more than it confuses. :)

A quick Google search turned up this Hyphenation Dictonary Download; I would probably take that information and build it into a data structure that could be frozen and thawed as necessary. Or you could put it into an SQLite database.

Search CPAN for "syllable" - you get stuff, like Lingua::Phonology and Lingua::EN::Syllable. Generally speaking, the "Lingua" module space is for text and natural language processing things.
