in thread How do I remove the duplicates from the array?

Please, be more precise. Even if Perl can "do what you mean", sometimes you have to be careful.
@long = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5); @sparse = (1, , , 4, ); @short = (1, 4); print "Equals\n" if $#long == $#sparse; print "Shorter\n" if $#short == $#sparse;

    Update: Never mind the below for farang had already showed that above.

    I /GUESS/ OP has a issue of keeping track of missing values and display of them. So, undef (ideally; else nothing, '') could be used for the missing values. Format the display with whitespace as needed.
