Hello sabas,

Welcome to the Monastery. The fellow Monks have already suggested solutions to your question. I just wanted to add one more by using a module.

A few days ago a similar question was asked find common data in multiple files. I think the best approach is to use the module setop to compare the files and to capture output easily you can do it with IPC::System::Simple.

Sample of code below:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use IPC::System::Simple 'capture';

my $cmd = "setop --intersect " . join " ", @ARGV;

chomp (my @output = capture( $cmd ));

my %hash;
$hash{$ARGV[1]} = \@output;

print Dumper \%hash;

__END__

$ perl test.pl file1.txt file2.txt
$VAR1 = {
          'file2.txt' => [
                           'Sample line 1',
                           'Sample line 2',
                           'Sample line 3',
                           'Sample line 4',
                           'Sample line 5',
                           'Sample line 6',
                           'Sample line 7',
                           'Sample line 8',
                           'Sample line 9',
                           'Sample line 10'
                         ]
        };

I do not know if this module is the fastest or the more efficient solution but you can Benchmark.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
