Text::Soundex Version 2.00 This is a perl 5 module implementing the Soundex algorithm described by Knuth. Mark Mielke suggested a complete rewrite of the code for version 2.00, Mike Stok's old code has been retired :-) Once the archive has been unpacked then the following steps are needed to build, test and install the module (to be done in the directory which contains the Makefile.PL) perl Makefile.PL make make test If the make test succeeds then the next step may need to be run as root (on a Unix-like system) or with special privileges on other systems. make install If any of the tests report 'not ok' and you're running perl 5.004 or later then please contact Mike Stok
