+=head1 NAME
+
+Text::LevenshteinXS - An XS implementation of the Levenshtein edit distance
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Text::LevenshteinXS qw(distance);
+
+ print distance("foo","four");
+ # prints "2"
+
+ print distance("foo","bar");
+ # prints "3"
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements the Levenshtein edit distance in a XS way.
+
+The Levenshtein edit distance is a measure of the degree of proximity between two strings.
+This distance is the number of substitutions, deletions or insertions ("edits") 
+needed to transform one string into the other one (and vice versa).
+When two strings have distance 0, they are the same.
+A good point to start is: <http://www.merriampark.com/ld.htm>

+All the credits go to Vladimir Levenshtein the author of the algorithm and to 
+Lorenzo Seidenari who made the C implementation <http://www.merriampark.com/ldc.htm>
