Also, a slightly more general example solution taking n>=2 files on the cmd line and listing for each those entries which are in the other ones too, and the actual files these entries are in. Mostly self explanatory, I suppose:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; die "Usage: $0 <file1> <file2> [<files>]\n" unless +(my @files=@ARGV) >= 2; my %have; chomp, $have{$ARGV}{ (split /,/)[0] }=1 while <>; $\="\n"; for (@files) { { my $sep=':' x length; print "$sep\n$_\n$sep\n"; } my @rest=do { my $ex=$_; grep $_ ne $ex, @files; }; for my $k (sort keys %{ $have{$_} }) { my @dups=grep $have{$_}{$k}, @rest; print "$k => @dups" if @dups; } print ''; } __END__
(this assumes all of the files it is given are in the same format as your "file1". Modify at will!)
