Hi Monks!
I am trying to find if some array elements are in a hash key, to build a table alternating the text in the TDs if the name in the array match any hash key, here is a sample of what I am trying to do: 
my @arr_of_names = qw(Mary John Ann);
my $txt;

my $table = qq|<table>|;

 foreach my $key ( sort(keys %$all_names )) {
   
   foreach my $name ( @arr_of_names ) {

     if($name eq $key) {
     
       $txt = "BAD";
       $table = $table. qq|<tr><td>$txt - $key</td></tr>";
       
     }else{

       $txt = "GOOD";
       $table = $table. qq|<tr><td>$txt - $key</td></tr>";
    }
                             
 }

 $table = $table. qq|</table>|;
 
 print $table;

Thanks, I hope I was clear in my question.
