Probably not the most efficient implementation (and maybe incomplete), but if you can't get the modules to work, you could wrap this up as a subroutine.

#! perl -slw use strict; use Data::Dumper; my $needle = 'the lazy cat'; my $haystack = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'; my @matches; for my $start (0..length $needle) { for my $len ($start+1 .. length $needle) { my $substr = substr($needle, $start, $len); push @matches, $haystack =~ m[($substr)]g; } } my ($len, $longest) = 0; length > $len and ($longest, $len) = ($_, length) for @matches; print "The longest common substring between\n", $needle, "\nand\n", $h +aystack, "\nis '$longest'"; __END__ C:\test>249239.pl The longest common substring between the lazy cat and the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is 'the lazy ' C:\test>

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
