pseudocode:
make each of the pair of strings an array
step through first array, each position you find a underscore, put the underscore in the second array in same position.
now step through second array, and in each position you find a underscore, put one at the same position in first array.
join each array into a scalar and compare both scalars with string comparison operator (eq)
the initial traversing of both arrays can be easily done in one loop. i just wrote it the (2 loop) way to more clearly illustrate.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

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).
