Maybe something along the lines of:
c:\@Work\Perl>perl -wMstrict -e
"my @strings = qw(DOG COT BAL MAN);
;;
use constant FMT => '%6s';
;;
printf FMT, $_ for '', @strings;
print qq{\n};
;;
for my $row (@strings) {
printf FMT, $row;
for my $col (@strings) {
my $d = diff($row, $col);
printf FMT, $d;
}
print qq{\n};
}
;;
sub diff { return scalar ($_[0] ^ $_[1]) =~ tr/\0//c; }
"
DOG COT BAL MAN
DOG 0 2 3 3
COT 2 0 3 3
BAL 3 3 0 2
MAN 3 3 2 0
Update: In the
sub diff { return scalar ($_[0] ^ $_[1]) =~ tr/\0//c; }
function definition, the scalar call is not needed, but does no harm. (Assignment to a scalar imposes scalar context.)
Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

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).
