I'm not surprised no one has mentioned this one. This is pretty horrible as well. Make the 2 lists have the same size, and then return a hash where the keys are one list and the values are another. Then you can extract both lists from the single list using perl built-ins. I would advise not doing it this way. But just for fun, untested code ahead...

sub foo { my ($tmp, @list1, @list2, %vals) = ('aaaaa'); @list1 = generate_list1(); @list2 = generate_list2(); if (@list1 > @list2) { push @list2, $tmp++ for 1..@list1-@list2; } else { push @list1, $tmp++ for 1..@list2-@list1; } @vals{@list1} = @list2; return %vals; } my %tmp = foo(); my @list1 = sort grep !/^aaa/, keys %tmp; my @list2 = sort grep !/^aaa/, values %tmp;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
