-==== Installation ====
-If you exist on the ÚFAL network, you can use directly Dan's version here. Otherwise, you need to [[mailto:zeman@ufal.mff.cuni.cz|ask Dan]] for a zipped package of the currently existing drivers. (I intend to maintain it here for download some time later.) Unzip it to a convenient place; below, we assume it is in ''/home/zeman/lib/perl''.

-**Note:** I decided to put the whole thing under version control. At the same time, I moved it from my lib folder to my project folder. So the current ÚFAL location is ''/home/zeman/projekty/interset/lib''.

 === Directory Structure ===
-The drivers are Perl modules and must be somewhere under ''$PERLLIB'' (''@INC''). Their root folder is ''tagset'' (this is what separates the tag set drivers from other Perl libraries). Subfolders of ''tagset'' are two-letter codes of languages (ISO). Some tagsets may be designed for more than one language but most are language-specific. PM files in language folders are drivers. Drivers are called xxx.pm, where xxx is the code name of the tagset. The driver xxx.pm for language ll should be accessible from Perl via

 There is also the driver testing script, ''bin/driver-test.pl''. The distribution may contain some sample conversion scripts as well; however, these depend much more on the file format than on the tagset drivers, and thus you'll probably need to write your own anyway.

 Note the two-step replacement of the original tag. I do not dare to use the original tag in a regular expression because there could be special characters in the tag.
+Some operations performed by the drivers (especially when encoding) are not trivial. While you may not observe long processing times for toy runs, it might matter once you start converting millions of tags in a big corpus. Then you may want to use up the fact that there are tens to thousands of tags, and cache their translations like in the following example:
+<code perl>
+use tagset::cs::pdt;
+use tagset::en::penn;
+while(<>)
+{
+    if(s/<t>([^<]+)/<_tag_to_convert_>/)
+    {
+        my $tag0 = $1;
+        my $tag1;
+        if(exists($cache{$tag0}))
+        {
+            $tag1 = $cache{$tag0};
+        }
+        else
+        {
+            my $features = tagset::cs::pdt::decode($tag0);
+            $tag1 = tagset::en::penn::encode($features);
+            $cache{$tag0} = $tag1;
+        }
+        s/<_tag_to_convert_>/<t>$tag1/;
