1: creates sub named f, which takes two parameters: string and a reference to a hash
that sub puts all combinations of substrings out of the given string into the hash
2: splits the first string from the file into two variables $l $m
3: takes the next line from the file and sends it into sub f with the reference to an empty hash %h
4: at this point the first line from the file is split on all its substrings which are put into
hash %h and have a value 1
5: then we read the rest of the file line by line and send these lines to the sub f along the reference
to an empty hash %th, right after that the two hashes are compared and the %h hash is incremented on the doubled values
6: runs through the %h hash and if the value of the key is amount of overlaps we need, then put it into an @r array of arrays
7: the last line prints all the longest overlaps with the same length
