NAME
    String::Similarity - calculate the similarity of two strings

SYNOPSIS
     use String::Similarity;

     $similarity = similarity $string1, $string2;
     $similarity = similarity $string1, $string2, $limit;

DESCRIPTION
    $factor = similarity $string1, $string2, [$limit]
        The 'similarity'-function calculates the similarity index of its two
        arguments. A value of '0' means that the strings are entirely
        different. A value of '1' means that the strings are identical.
        Everything else lies between 0 and 1 and describes the amount of
        similarity between the strings.

        It roughly works by looking at the smallest number of edits to
        change one string into the other.

        You can add an optional argument '$limit' (default 0) that gives the
        minimum similarity the two strings must satisfy. 'similarity' stops
        analyzing the string as soon as the result drops below the given
        limit, in which case the result will be invalid but lower than the
        given '$limit'. You can use this to speed up the common case of
        searching for the most similar string from a set by specifing the
        maximum similarity found so far.
