Thank you! Yes the best match is the longest one. In the Stackoverflow post someone suggested that I looked into fuzzy-matching modules. I'm also looking into this.

It's a little unclear to me if Text::Fuzzy does what you want, but of course investigating CPAN modules is a good idea. Also, just a note that the code above is only an interpretation if what your original code appears to want to do, i.e. looking at only the first two names for matches. A more complete selection of sample input, description of what you want the match to be, and sample output would really help, I think.	[reply]
