I think you are right. Text::Levenshtein is better in this case because
String::Approx will match substrings of the input. Here is one more thing.
If substitutions are not allowed, only inserts and deletes, you could
use
Text::WagnerFischer to set the cost of substitution so high that it will not be used.
use Text::Levenshtein;
use Text::WagnerFischer;
my $pat = 'AAB';
my @lst = qw(ABAB ABBA ABB ABABAAB);
my @dist1 = Text::Levenshtein::distance($pat, @lst);
my @dist2 = Text::WagnerFischer::distance([0, 1, 100], $pat, @lst);
my ($i, $item);
$i = 0;
foreach $item (@lst) {
print "Levenshtein distance of $item to $pat is ",$dist1[$i],"\n";
print "WagnerFischer distance of $item to $pat is ",$dist2[$i],"\n"
+;
$i++;
}

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).
