Hi Monks who are always smarter than me! I am trying to compare 2 CSV files for Names/and or Company Names that the two have in common and return the complete lines in both if there is a match. I have a script that matches lines in each file and returns lines but I want to match on a string level as opposed to a line level that I've noted above. Here's my script, any guidance on how to modify is greatly appreciated!!

use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

my $f1 = shift || "/opt/test.txt";
my $f2 = shift || "/opt/test1.txt";

my %results;
open my $file1, '<', $f1;
while (my $line = <$file1>) { $results{$line} = 1 }
open my $file2, '<', $f2;
while (my $line = <$file2>) { $results{$line}++ }
foreach my $line (sort { $results{$b} <=> $results{$a} } keys %results
+) { print "$results{$line}:", $line if $results{$line} >1;}
