This will work only for the elements which are removed in the front.
my $before = [qw(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)];
my $after  = [qw(1 2 4 3 5 6 7 8 9 10)];
$k=0;
for($i=0;$i<=@$before;$i++)
{
    for($j=$k;$j<=@$after;$j++)
       {
        if(@$before[$i] eq @$after[$j] and $i==$j)
          {
            $i++;$k++;
          }
        if(@$before[$i] eq @$after[$j] and $i!=$j)
          {
            print "element @$before[$i]  is moved to the position ",$j
++1;
            $i=@$before+1;
            last;
          }
       }    
}
