Thanks all for the answers. Finding the similarity between two strings is one (probably the largest) component of my problem. However, there is another component--finding groups of "matches". I guess that I could do all possible pairs and look for similarity between them, forming a graph-like structure connecting "matches" to each other and then look for disconnected components or some such thing. Any thoughts on this second part of the problem? There are any number of possible ways to do it in practice (Graph.pm or even SQL could probably handle it), but it would be great to hear thoughts on the issue. Thanks again, Sean

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).
