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.
