Hi Monks, I am having some troubles with hashes. I am simply wanting to compare elements in an array to keys in a hash. When they match I want to pull out the corresponding values into a new array. Simple. The code i am using is just not matching the values to the keys, but when I print out the keys and the array, they clearly have some similarities. Please can someone help? 


my %hash = map {$numbers[$_] => $values[$_]} 0 .. $#numbers;

# my @keys = keys %hash;
# print @keys;

foreach my $thing (@array)   {
   # print $thing;

   if (exists ($hash{$thing}))   {
             push @new_array, $thing;
   }

}

print @new_array;
