BrowserUK's solution doesn't quite work I tried the following and did not get back what was expected ( " the quick brown fox "): my $needle = 'i pushed the lazy dog into a creek, the quick brown fox
+told me to';
my $haystack = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog';
and got back 'the lazy dog' (it works if you reverse the $needle and the $haystack.
But to his credit it seems to work better than String-LCSS-0.10, and he did mention that it might be incomplete (run it both ways, get the longest string and print that, I believe should give you the most right answer, but my tests might also be incomplete). Where which running the following code: require String::LCSS;
my $needle = 'i pushed the lazy dog into a creek, the quick brown fox
+told me to';
my $haystack = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog';
my $longest = String::LCSS::lcss ( $needle, $haystack );
print $longest, "\n";
prints only 'lazy dog' (again it works reversing the $needle and the $haystack). I would use Algorithm-Diff using this part of the documentation as a starting point. Note: The Author of String-LCSS-0.10 has been notified. -enlil

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).
