Hi monks, I'm getting a bit confused!

I simply have two arrays of numbers which are 'paired' together based on element number, e.g. $array1[0] and $array2[0] are a pair etc.

My problem is that, although each array holds unique numbers, these numbers are sometimes present in both arrays. When this happens, I simply want to remove one copy of the pair and keep the other (remove one element from each array)

Here's an example: 

@array1 = qq(13470660  13471850  14028274  14028286);
@array2 = qq(14028145  14028286  13476691  13471850);

# where the pairs are:

13470660 14028145
13471850 14028286  
14028274 13476691
14028286 13471850

# I want the result to be the following because 14028286 13471850 occu
+r in each:

13470660 14028145
13471850 14028286  
14028274 13476691
