This module uses TeX style hyphenation patterns to find places in words to hyphenate. You can supply any hyphenation file you like. The use goes like this

use TeX::Hyphen;
my $hyp = new TeX::Hyphen 'dehyphn.tex', 'style' => 'german';
my $word = "representation";
my @points = $hyp->hyphenate($word);

Download TeX-Hyphen-1.18.tar.gz and check the man page.
