=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
use Text::LevenshteinXS qw(distance);
|
||
|
|
||
|
print distance("foo","four");
|
||
|
# prints "2"
|
||
|
|
||
|
print distance("foo","bar");
|
||
|
# prints "3"
|
||
|

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module implements the Levenshtein edit distance in a XS way.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Levenshtein edit distance is a measure of the degree of proximity between two strings.
|
||
|
This distance is the number of substitutions, deletions or insertions ("edits")
|
||
|
needed to transform one string into the other one (and vice versa).
|
||
|
When two strings have distance 0, they are the same.
