Re: comparing arrays

This is a faq. The answer could also be found by typing perldoc -q equal at a prompt.

Share and enjoy! :)

Update: I should probably also mention / pimp the good node on How to RTFM. Don't read too much harshness into the F, though.

perl -pe '"I lo*`+$^X$\"$]!$/"=~m%(.*)%s;$_=$1;y^`+*^e v^#$&V"+@( NO CARRIER'

FAQ aside, there's lots more pointers ... right here on PerlMonks (via Super Search) in comp.lang.perl.misc (via Google) and even on CPAN. --k.	[reply]

Thank you. to start, i didn't see the faq. That helps. Also, the question was one of efficency, not of just simply doing it, since the arrays i'm dealing with have a tendency to become quite large. I originally had something crude like `$i=0; foreach(@a) { if ($a[$i]!=$b[$i]) { return 0;} $i++; } return 1;` [download] So its more than just RTFMing. Althought i can't complain...having more FMs never hurts ^_^	[reply] [d/l]
