SEE ALSO
    *   edlib <https://github.com/Martinsos/edlib>

        Edlib is a lightweight and superfast C/C++ library for sequence
        alignment using the edit (Levenshtein) distance between two or more
        biological (usually) sequences. It can calculate the edit distance,
        find the optimal aligment path and the coordinates (start/end)
        locations. It supports multiple alignment modes such as global (NW),
        prefix (SHW) and infix (HW). The library does not handle utf8 and
        its primary use is to compute edit distances and alignments over
        small (255 characters or fewer) alphabets as they occur in
        bioinformatic applications.

    *   Text::Levenshtein::Edlib
        <https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::Levenshtein::Edlib>

        An XS library that also wraps around the edlib library and returns
        edit distances, as well as alignment paths.

    *   Text::Levenshtein::XS
        <https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::Levenshtein::XS>

        An XS library that computes edit distances but not alignment paths.
        See also its github repository at:
        <https://github.com/ugexe/Text--Levenshtein--XS/>)

    *   Text::LevenshteinXS <https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::LevenshteinXS>

        Yet another XS implementation of Levenshtein distance over strings
        (no alignment path).

        Documentation on the Alien concept itself.

    *   Alien::Base <https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Base>

        The base class for this Alien. The methods in that class allow you
        to use the static and the dynamic edlib library in your code.

    *   Bio::SeqAlignment <https://metacpan.org/pod/Bio::SeqAlignment>

        A collection of tools and libraries for aligning biological
        sequences from within Perl.
