  Description     : Text::Metaphone implements algorithm for indexing words by 
their English pronunciation.

Metaphone() is a function whereby a string/word is broken down into a rough 
approximation of its english phonetic pronunciation. Very similar in concept 
and purpose to soundex, but much more comprehensive in its approach.
