I haven't read about the concept (yet!) so I'm just commenting on your code.
Copying and manipulating those hashes in max_diff is going to be slow, lots of memory copies, and if I've understood correctly you don't need to do it that way. Wouldn't something like this give you the number you need?
sub max_diff {
...
my $count = 0;
for (keys %{$hash1}) {
$count++ unless exists $hash2->{$_};
}
for (keys %{$hash2}) {
$count++ unless exists $hash1->{$_};
}
return $count;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
