Comparing Approximate Itemsby artist (Parson) |

artist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Dear Monks I have situation which I can best describe as follow.
I have 2 sets A and B. Each sets contains few strings. I have to compare and find out approximately which string of set A matches with which string of set B. It's possible that some sttrings will go unmatched. Approximately means differing in letters by 1 to 3 characters. Each string length is max 10 characters. Sets A and B doesn't contain the same number of strings and number of strings in each set could go from 1 to 25.
Hope, I explained it properly, feel free to ask anything more.
Thanks,
