Oops, sorry. It reduced execution time by about 20%. I'm not allowed to post my actual code, but it was just the few obvious changes: declare @mat rather than %mat, and use [] rather than {}.
I made a loop that called levenshtein with 2 arrays of strings of 2-character words. Between one and 25 words per string, comparing all possible combinations of 51 different such "sentences". Hence 51 * 51 = 2061 string comparisons of between one and 25 words per sentence. I executed it on an old MacBook Pro 200 times, and took the average "user" time from the "time" command.
Average "user" time was 19.31% shorter.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
