I think I got overly excited - It's still not working The $_ in the hash seems to be blank and every run through comes back with the @report value does not exit in the @file. More help is surely appreciated.

use strict;
my $file='d:\mms_tableload.txt';
my @file=();
open(FILE,$file);
@file = <FILE>;
close(FILE);
my @report = qw(sarak_mike mike);
my %in_file = map{$_ =>1} @file;
my $all_match = 1;
foreach (@report) {
if (! exists $in_file {$_} ) {
$all_match = 0;
print "\@report value: '$_' is not in \@file.\n";
}
}
print "All values in \@report found in \@file\n" if
$all_match;
