Why couldn't you do something like this? (There may be some subtle flaw I am missing, but it seems like it should work...)

use strict;
use warnings;
use Algorithm::Diff qw/LCS/;

my @s1 = split //, <DATA>;

while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    next unless length;
    my @s2 = split //, $_;
    @s1 = LCS( \@s1, \@s2 );
}

print @s1;
