> SQL::AnchoredWildcards would make SQL LIKE terms unanchored
> by default, like

> The zipper was invented in...
> with a normal SQL LIKE you must remember to use
> %zipper%
> as your search term. Notice that this is different from most Internet

> zipper
> as your search term. This confuses the Internet-literate but
> SQL-novice

> NAME
> SQL::AnchoredWildcards - add anchors ('^', '$') to SQL wildcards
>
> SYNOPSIS
> use SQL::AnchoredWildcards;
> $pattern = sql_anchor_wildcards($pattern);
>
> DESCRIPTION
> SQL::AnchorWildcards enhances the default SQL wildcard
> processing by adding support for '^' and '$' as in Perl regular
> expressions. When using sql_anchor_wildcards(), if the pattern
> does not contain '^' ('$'), the search pattern is unanchored at
> the beginning (end). Escaping of '^' and '$' is done with '\'.
>
> Please also note that '$' is properly escaped for Perl's
> benefit.
