Hi Haukex, first of all, thank you so much for your effort.

I'm sorry but since I'm not very familiar with this language, I find it a bit hard to comprehend this code. May I know what is this part means:

my ($highest_match, $highest_match_at_a1idx) = (-1);

You have stated in the code that it will look through @array1 for the best match, but I search the (-1) function in google but they did not gave me information that I can relate with this.

I also a bit confuse with the function of .pp in your code. Does this store the variable somewhere?

Really appreciate if you can answer this. Thank you again sir.
