This looks like an interesting tool, and I have no objections to a tool written in Java, except that this one also appears to be written for Java, and it appears one needs to create rulesets in order to use this. Very neat suggestion, though. Heh -- and now I have another itch to scratch -- a software tool that locates copied and pasted code. Hmm .. I do have a grid engine at my disposal ..

Although there is no explicit ruleset for Perl available it works quite well. I tried it before a ruleset for PHP was available, maybe it works even better now... Just give it a try. And you do not need a grid engine for this - ckeching a medium sized project with the CPD works really fast on an average workstation.	[reply]

My understanding of the Git version-control system is that it detects quite well where code has been copied, renamed, moved, or transcribed. It's maybe not as oriented to the task as CPD, but another approach to the same problem (with further benefits). -David	[reply]
