Many years ago I asked a similar question, and the answer I got was that
the soundex algorithm has been superceded by superior ones, such as
metaphone. So I tried Text::Metaphone and indeed got far superior
results. Now there is a DoubleMetaphone which evidently improves upon
Metaphone:

Both Text::Metaphone and Text::DoubleMetaphone exist in the AS PPM repo.
