Anyone knows of a good implementation of the latter, in CPAN if possible? 14529 2 ville.skytta 2007-03-22 16:02:44 +0000 Maybe this or some of the other modules it mentions? http://search.cpan.org/dist/String-Approx/Approx.pm 23729 3 ot 2009-02-13 19:13:08 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Maybe this or some of the other modules it mentions? > http://search.cpan.org/dist/String-Approx/Approx.pm String::Approx is not bad. I got some confusing results at frist but after a bit of wrangling I find it reasonably effective. 23731 4 ot 2009-02-13 21:14:38 +0000 Done in dev, test case added. http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/dev/tests/4412-fuzzymatch.xhtml;ss#result
