WARNING! This module is not yet ready for prime-time! Play with it, but for
god's sake, don't put it in any production code. I'm just throwing it into the
ring to see if I get any reaction. ("But there were only a few
flipper-babies!")
Metaphone is an algorithm where-by words (or any string) are transformed into a
rough approximation of its english pronunciation. Thus you can use it to find
words which sound similar. The usual application for this is recovering from
mispellings.
INSTALLATION
The usual drill...
perl MakeFile.PL
or
perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/your/home/dir
then
make
make install
