    Damon Davison's use of Google inspired me to try
    a variation. I just typed three queries and
    got the following number of hits:

    Search string Hits
    ------------- ------
    ngram 21,100

    ngram not perl 540

    n-gram 85,700

    This seems to provide overwhelming evidence for
    a hyphen between "n" and "gram". Since Google
    doesn't distinguish capitals, that leaves the
    capitalization question unresolved.
