rkg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi --

I am looking for a module to solve (or appoximately solve) the longest common substring problem.

I found two modules on CPAN: String-LCSS-0.10 and String-Ediff-0.01.

The first didn't download ("File not found") from CPAN; the second required a C compiler and I don't have one available (Activestate perl). Any have any suggestions?

Thanks

R
