I devised an algorithm where a string is turned into a 26-byte representation of itself, where each byte indicates how many occurrences of a given character are found in the string. For example:
$s = "antidisestablishmentarianism";
# a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
$r = "\4\1\0\1\2\0\0\1\5\0\0\1\2\3\0\0\0\1\4\3\0\0\0\0\0\0"
That is then turned into a regex (so \4 becomes [\0-\4]). Then I match the representation of another string against that regex.
I can post the code if you'd like.

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).
