#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; my %a=( AA=>'Y', BB=>'Y', CC=>'Y', DD=>'Y', EE=>'Y', FF=>'Y' ); my @a1=('AA','DD','EE'); my @a2=('AA','BB','CC','FF'); my(@tmp1,@tmp2); foreach my $xx (sort (keys(%a))) { $a = grep (/$xx/, @a1); $b = grep (/$xx/, @a2) ; if (($a && $b) || (!$a && !$b)) { push (@tmp1,$xx); push (@tmp2,$xx); } elsif ($a && (!$b)) { push (@tmp1,$xx); push (@tmp2,'##'); } elsif (!$a && ($b)) { push (@tmp1,'##'); push (@tmp2,$xx); } } print join(',',@tmp1); print "\n"; print join(',',@tmp2); print "\n";

Is there a more perlish way of doing this ?
What i want to do here is create 2 arrays tmp1 and tmp2 whose length is that of the size of (keys of %a) and
if an element exists in both @a1 and @a2 then they will be put to tmp1 and tmp2 ,
If one of the array (a1 or a2)dose'nt contain the key then a ## should be Inserted there,
This is working fine and I just wanted to know if there is anything that can be improved in the code
