RE: Call Subroutines by Approximate Name

[merlyn]

Cool idea! But rather than Text::Soundex, you could use String::Approx and get a better match, I think.

Thanks for the idea. I chose Text::Soundex because it was available in the standard distribution.

Of course in a perfect world, the fuzzy matching would be user configurable. Hmm...

Update

As of version 0.05, Sub::Approx now supports user-configurable fuzzy matching. Get it from CPAN.
