Re: HTML Document Comparison

[moen]

k, newbie answer ahead. Something like this gave me the proper answer 0||1 for equality using String::Approx. Of course not any validity against proper html code or anything, just plain text match.

use String::Approx 'amatch';
$match = amatch(@txt1, @txt2));

where @txt1 is the original document and @txt2 is the comparing document. And $match will give you 0||1 for the match.

Well, better would probably be String::Similarity (which I found out only recently, and right here in the Monestary) which gives a value between 0 and 1. In fact, for the original application, that might be the easiest. {grin}
