Re^2: Comparing 2 different-sized strings

Hi, Thank you so much for your help. So when I execute the script I noticed that if I want 3 mismatches and set $misses to 3, I also get the ones that have 2 mismatches also which makes sense sense inside the subroutine it asks for >= $min. However, if I want only 3 mismatches and NOT to include the ones with 2, I tried changing it to =$min without the greater than sign, but then it gave me an error message:

can't modify bitwise xor (^) in list assignment at rRNA_target.pl line
+ 92, near 
")
   }"

Any ideas what I can do?
