Hi Perl Monks ,

I need to compare two properties files which contains keys and values in that each file will have multiple values (comma separated values)for a singe key.

Please kindly suggest me how should I go about it as I am a new one for Perl.

Thanks very much in advance.

Ex:- File1:

B23168=AOL,ABC

permitted_mac_attempts=1,DEF

B23167=Carphone Warehouse TalkTalk,23

B23163=Orange,Red,Blue,Green,White,Black

B23970=O2

File2:

B23168=AOL,ABC,DEF,EFG

permitted_mac_attempts=1,DEF,34,4

B23167=Carphone Warehouse TalkTalk,23,5,6

B23163=Orange,Red,Blue,Green,Yellow

B23970=O2,56
