newbie asks: i have a multi dimensional array: 
@AoA = (
           [ "AAA", "BUY", "98", "0" ],
           [ "BBB", "SEL", "27", "1" ],
           [ "FFF", "BUY", "43", "4" ],
           [ "AAA", "SEL", "98", "0" ],
           [ "CCC", "SEL", "98", "0" ],
    );

Question: I'd like to have code that compares the first line against every other line in the the set, then moves to the second line and compares it to every other line in the set, and so on. My goal is to be able to find rows where element 0,2, and 3 in one array match element 0,2, and 3 in another array but element 1 is different in the 2 arrays. thanks much
