hotshot,
Please do not take this post too seriously

I was trying to think outside the box and in the spirit of TIMTOWTDI 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @FirstArray = qw(one two three);
my @SecondArray = qw(four seven one eight two nine three seventeen);

unless (index ((join "" , sort map {"@FirstArray" =~ /\b($_)\b/;} @Sec
+ondArray) , (join "" , sort @FirstArray)) eq -1) {
    print "Second array contains all the elements in first array\n";  
+  
}
else {
    print "Second array does not contain all the elements in the first
+ array\n";
}

This is probably easily broken, but I thought it was neat.

Cheers - L~R
