Thank you very much for your reply . This code actually solved my problem and returned exact matches between the two files (irrespective of their location in the files) . As I understood , it will list each data showing to which file it belongs (or it is common to both files) . It is really what I wanted .
Sincerely Yours

ones that aren't which file they're in.
perl -MData::Dumper -le 'while(<>) {chomp; push @{$s->{"$_"}},
$ARGV}; END{ print Dumper($s) }' file1 file2
... someone will be along shortly with a more elegant method.
