Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:164 comp.lang.perl.modules:2579 String::Approx ANNOUNCE String::Approx v2.0 This Perl module implements approximate matching aka fuzzy matching. Also the substitution operation is supported. This release should be several times faster than the previous major release, v1.*, of String::Approx. The call syntax of this release is not directly downward compatible with the previous major release but there is a backward compability mode available. This change was made both because of the speed-up work and because of the need to match also from somewhere else than just the $_. I am sorry about this change but I hope the new speed and features make up for the inconvenience. The new release is available from http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/String/String-Approx-2.0.tar.Z -- Jarkko Hietaniemi .
