HI, I want to find whether 2 strings are matching... consider the 2 strings,

 my $string1 = ~cake,pastry
 my $string2 = pastry,~cake
[download]

the result should be the string1 & string2 are matching...as they are having same words in different order. and if the 2 strings are

my $string1 = cake,pastry
my $string2 = ~cake,pastry
[download]

then the result should be the 2 strings are not matching... though they are in the same order,"cake" is different from "~cake" I searched in Q&A section but didnot find the correct solution.sorry to bother if the answere is already present here. -Madam

• 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.
