nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm looking for a module that will intelligently handle the names of people in my database. I used the cleanNames function of the Text::Names but unfortunately it didn't handle people with hyphenated names very well.
For example, someone with a name of "Mary Burgess Stevens" gets translated into "Stevens, Mary Burgess" while someone named "Donna Roy-Mayweather" gets converted to "Roy-Mayweather, Donna."
I'm wondering if anyone has done any work with hyphenated/double last names and how you tackled this problem.
