Hello Nick, hello everyone,
I'm searching for a perl module which allows approximate checking of file
similareness as per manber94 (see link)
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/manber94finding.html
I've had a good look around and found
String::Approx,
String::Similarity,
File::Find::Duplicates,
File::Compare,
but they all do not what I need.
Does anyone know such a module?
If not, it could probably go into File::Compare (which would return not 0 or 1
but fractions for the amount of similar data).
Nick: Is it ok with you to put that into your module, or would you suggest
creating a new module? (which would probably be better since File::Compare is
in the standard distribution, while this functionality will be beta for some
time)
Any pointers??
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
pm
