Hey all,

I have a project that requires that I clean up a list of student-
entered teacher names (Mrs. Powell, MRS. Powell,  Ms. Powle, etc, ==
Mrs. Jane Powell). I know the list of ideal names.

The whole project involves combining 30 or so excel files, about 6-20k
lines, and de-duping them. One part of the de-duping is fixing this
single field. Kyle Burton suggested using the Fuzzy Matching module.
I'm a rank amateur at programming, let alone Perl specifically, but I
hope someone has something that could help me out.

Thanks,

Bonnie
