Hello, this the Perl library for approximate matching. It requires Perl 5. The documentation is in pod format (see perlpod), you can view it by for example pod2man scanf.pm | nroff -man | more Note that the pod cocumentation should be quite readable "as is". I hope you enjoy this little hack. If you find any bugs please do not hesitate to tell me. If you feel like sending me presents please do not hesitate to bribe me. --- ++jhi; // jhi@hut.fi, http://www.hut.fi/~jhi/
