Hey People!

I have the following little algorithm: 
use strict;

my @big = qw(a b c d e f g h i);
my @small = qw(f c d g);

my @keys_wanted = @small;

foreach (@big) {
    my $found = 0;
    foreach my $already_there (@small) {

        if ($already_there eq $_) {
            $found = 1;
            last;
        }
    }
    if (!$found) {
        push (@keys_wanted, $_);
    }
}

print "@keys_wanted";

This works, but Im sure there is some neater (perlish?), and maybe even some faster way to do the same?

I want it to, as you may see, have the keys in the order as mentioned in @small. And, the rest of the keys from @big. Maybe there is even a way to get rid of @keys_wanted?

Thanks,
Ace
