RE: Plagiarism Monitor S/W

Sounds like a task for Perl

Go to your bookstore and browse through 'Perl Cookbook', published by
O'Reilly to get some ideas

You might also pose that question to a Perl user group. Someone(s) will
have done something close to your requirement

Hi:

Sorry, this is not so related to Debian. I am just wondering 
if there exists a script/ software that compares similarities 
between two files. It should be more sophisticated than "comm"
and "diff".

Someone would like to use that script for screening student
assignments. Prefarable, if it could also detect "using more 
than 72 chars/line" and the usage of "^M" in text files.
