Thanks ! These are pretty cool (I could see come use for them in my work), but I'm looking for something which I could use a regexp: `$str = "PolarBear"; $str =~ /[Pp]olar[Bb]e[ae]r/;` [download] if $str is "polarbear" or "polarbeer" or "Polarbear" returns 0 if $str is "PolarBeat returns 1 if $str is "PelarBeat returns 2 etc,etc.	[reply] [d/l]

Ah, I see. (Also didn't realize that String::Approx doesn't use regexes) So this is crazy, but it just might work: stick each letter of one string into one array, then each letter of the other string into the other array. Then use List::Compare to figure out how the two strings are different. List::Compare is my favorite hammer these days. =)	[reply]

cool. This seems like a generalized way to go about it. Hope the performance is ok. I need to compare a 27 character reg-exp to a 1 million character string ! vince	[reply]
