eh I missed that upon editing my post. Thanks, I edited it accordingly.

Regarding the "best" match, I am looking for the match that differs less. This would be the match that would contain the most characters. I am now looking into the smallest distance between sentences using Text::Fuzzy, but I'll have a look at those modules that Anonymous Monk posted above. Also, thanks for your tip on the one line assignment. I guess this just shows how "green" I am :( Thank you!
