The 'subcode' indeed would work, it looks something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
sub compare ($$) {
my ($a,$b) = @_;
my $ok = 0;
for (my $i=0; $i < scalar(@{$a}); $i++) {
if ( @{$a}[$i] eq @{$b}[$i] && @{$a}[$i] ne "_" ) {
#compatible...
$ok=1;
} elsif (@{$a}[$i] ne @{$b}[$i] && (@{$a}[$i] ne "_" &&
@{$b}[$i] ne "_") ) {
# totally not compatible
return 0;
}
}
$ok;
}
my @a1 = qw(_ 8 _ _ 3 _ _ 1 9);
my @a2 = qw(2 _ 8 _ _ _ 7 _ _);
my @a3 = qw(4 8 _ _ _ _ _ 7 _);
my @a4 = qw(4 8 _ _ _ _ 7 _ _);
print ( "1: " . compare(\@a1, \@a2) ."\n" );
print ( "2: " . compare(\@a1, \@a3) ."\n" );
print ( "3: " . compare(\@a1, \@a4) ."\n" );

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
