[Bioperl-l] module for pattern matching

[Andrew Walsh]

Hi Gowtham,

One place you could start is with a module called String::Approx (from 
CPAN).

I seem to remember though that the version I had did not always 
correctly return the match position.  It may have been fixed in newer 
releases.  The module uses C extensions, so it would be faster than a 
pure Perl implementation, in case speed's an issue.
