Comparing arrays

smoss has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Guys, I'm new to this so maybe this is an easy question. I have two arrays with various numbers in each. I want to take each element in the first array and compare it with each element in the second array. If the element does not appear in the second array I want to add it to a third array. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

In the past I've used Array::Compare with great success. Check it out it might be just what you need. -- vek --	[reply]

I should have worded my question as Comparing elements within two arrays.	[reply]
