in thread Array logic!

Very well, but that means your solution is wrong, as the lowest value in the small array happens to be $small [0].

Eh, I can't read. In the example the lowest value isn't $small [0]. But what if it is?

    You made me look:) But isn't 77.0 < 78.6?

      Yes, I almost immediately updated my reply. But what if 
          @small = qw /78.6 78.8 79.0 80.2 79.8/;

      But if we can assume $small [0] is correct, I suggest the following one-liner: 

          @small = do {my $i; grep {$_ eq $small [0] .. ++ $i == @small} @nu
+mbers};

      the other numbers in @small aren'r relevant then, only how many numbers there are.

        ...the other numbers in @small aren'r relevant then, only how many numbers there are.

        That was the conclusion I came to on the strength of very little.

        I agree that the OP's description leaves a lot to be desired.
