Actually I ran it a bunch of times with big and small strings with different amounts of commonality, but it all came out pretty much the same. You're right, of course, I didn't do a proper, complete benchmark report. But as this is Fun With Perl and not Hardcore Performance Benchmarking I didn't think it necessary to get into too much depth. The strings I used in that particular run were: foofedskjooidfoooofmbarbarijsfijr and fdsfloo9harrbarfoooood2308ooble -- Michael G.
