hello, I am a newbie to Perl and need some asssistance cleaning up some data files. I have two files that look something like this... 
list #1:

bill|552211
joey|600200
mark|996101
drew|460020
paul|124683
suzy|782365
john|741112
mary|685201
fred|415874

list #2

john|568561
mary|002211
fred|875650

What I need to do is to remove any record from list #1 that is also in list #2 based on the person's name. I need to end up with this... 
bill|552211
joey|600200
mark|996101
drew|460020
paul|124683
suzy|782365

TIA for any help...
