Hi Perlmonks,
I am interested to find out the matching words between an original text and a new text and the percentage
of matching words over the total words in new text. For example, I have an original text like $a="Poet Blake had a milky white cat.
He used to call it Pussy."; and a new text like $b="Poet Blake had a white cat and used to call it Pussy.";
The words that matched between these two texts are 11 i.e. Poet, Blake, had, a, white, cat, used, to, call, it, Pussy.
Moreover, there are 12 words in new text $b. Thus, the percentage of matching words over the new
text will be=(11/12)*100 i.e. 91.67%. Is it possible to get these results using a perl program?
This question is in continuation of one of my earlier nodes. I tried with a script that made use of a module called plagiarized.pm. but failed.
I am at my wit's end to get the desired results. I got some suggestions in this regard from perlmonks earlier. But I failed
to write a working script for the desired results.
Is it possible to use a simple script in perl to find the matching words between two texts and the percentage of matching words?

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).
