NAME
    Text-Similarity version 0.03

DESCRIPTION
    Text-Similarity is a Perl module that allows a user to measure the
    similarity between two files. Similarity is based on counting the number
    of overlapping words between the two files, and is normalized by the
    length of the files.

    Pleased note that the smallest unit we are considered for matches are
    white space separated strings.

    'The cat and the hat' and 'These cats and these hats' will only result
    in similarity between 'and', matches below the word level are not
    measured.

CONTENTS
    When the distribution is unpacked, several subdirectories are created:

    /bin
        This directory contains a driver program called text_compare.pl that
        can be used to conveniently measure two files for similarity.

        Please see the perldoc for this program for more details.

    /lib
        This directory contains the Perl modules that do the actual work of
        disambiguation. By default, these files are installed into
        /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/PERL_VERSION (where PERL_VERSION is
        the version of Perl you are using). See the INSTALL file for more
        information.

    /doc
        This directory contains all of the *pod files used to document the
        system. These are processed via pod2text and the output of this is
        placed in the top level directory, although these top level text
        files should be considered read only.

    /t  This directory contains test scripts. These scripts are run when you
        execute 'make test'.
