Looking for advice (perl or just generic approach) to programmatically find duplicated blocks of code across 40 or so php script files, so i can then manually refactor these code chunks that i know do exist. It's not doable manually as we're talking 55k+ lines of code total. The copy/pasted bits of duplicate code are not identified with any function or class structure, i.e. pure procedural code someone else wrote. that's unfortunatelly how the dev on this occured before my work with it starting. author is available but it's also beyond his ability (or anyone's) to now manually unravel the duplication by hand.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
