Is the following code what you're looking for ?
use strict; my @array = qw (bga); my @new_array = qw (bga cbga test); my @tester; print "@array\n"; # #foreach my $temp(@array) { # chomp($temp); # @tester = grep !/^$temp$/ig,@new_array; #} my $temp='('.(join'|',@array).')'; @tester = grep !/^$temp$/ig,@new_array; print "@tester\n";

UPDATE :
Ooops davorg said it faster...
Furthermore if it's case-sensitive 'ne' is better than the regex used in my examples...

UPDATE2 :
Thanks Davorg for catching my error !
Only the last element of array will be taken out of the list,
as the @tester array is completly reconstructed at each step of the loop (only ok with one element ;-)
I've corrected the code with another solution...
But you'd definitly better use davorg's one.
