in reply to Is it possible to find the matching words and the percentage of matching words between two texts?

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Set::Scalar; # use Data::Dumper; my @str1= qw(Poet Blake had a milky white cat He used to call it Pussy +); my @str2 = qw(Poet Blake had a white cat and used to call it Pussy); my $s1= Set::Scalar->new(@str1); my $s2 = Set::Scalar->new(@str2); my $result = $s1*$s2; print $result; __END__ (Blake Poet Pussy a call cat had it to used white)

See Set::Scalar

Perhaps this helps. Best regards, Karl

Update: You wrote you are a teacher. So i think you can do the math by yourself ;-)
