If you are just looking to see if X from file one is in file two, and vice versa, you may want to look at p147 in the Cookbook. It's example is comparing the hash keys of two seperate hashes. If you place each line of your file into a hash and the other file in another hash, and compare the tow, you should be able to get the results you want
