Let f and g be analytic functions on the open unit disk  ${\mathbb D}$ such that
${\mathbb D}$ such that  $|f|=|g|$ on a set A. We give an alternative proof of the result of Perez that there exists c in the unit circle
$|f|=|g|$ on a set A. We give an alternative proof of the result of Perez that there exists c in the unit circle  ${\mathbb T}$ such that
${\mathbb T}$ such that  $f=cg$ when A is the union of two lines in
$f=cg$ when A is the union of two lines in  ${\mathbb D}$ intersecting at an angle that is an irrational multiple of
${\mathbb D}$ intersecting at an angle that is an irrational multiple of  $\pi $, and from this, deduce a sequential generalization of the result. Similarly, the same conclusion is valid when f and g are in the Nevanlinna class and A is the union of the unit circle and an interior circle, tangential or not. We also provide sequential versions of this result and analyze the case

Similarly, the same conclusion is valid when f and g are in the Nevanlinna class and A is the union of the unit circle and an interior circle, tangential or not. We also provide sequential versions of this result and analyze the case  $A=r{\mathbb T}$. Finally, we examine the most general situation when there is equality on two distinct circles in the disk, proving a result or counterexample for each possible configuration.
