+perl-String-Similarity
+
+The similarity-function calculates the similarity index of its two
+arguments. A value of 0 means that the strings are entirely different.
+A value of 1 means that the strings are identical. Everything else
+lies between 0 and 1 and describes the amount of similarity between
+the strings.
+
+It roughly works by looking at the smallest number of edits to change
+one string into the other.
+
+You can add an optional argument $limit (default 0) that gives the
+minimum similarity the two strings must satisfy. similarity stops
+analyzing the string as soon as the result drops below the given limit,
+in which case the result will be invalid but lower than the given
+$limit. You can use this to speed up the common case of searching for
+the most similar string from a set by specifing the maximum similarity
+found so far.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
