If you are going to store one list as a hash why not use it as a lookup table like so:

%prolist = ( '1' => 'CMD', '2' => '/bin/sh', '3' => 'rds', '4' => 'SysExec', '5' => '/oasis/bin/sysmenu', '6' => '/oasis/bin/TS_TextSrvcs', ); my @list = 1 .. 7; my $missing = 0; for my $item (@list) { unless (exists $prolist{$item}) { print "Missing item $item!\n"; $missing = $item; last; } } print $missing ? "$missing was missing!" : "All present and accounted +for";
