Hi, I have two arrays and I want to compare the contents to these two arrays. I installed Array::Compare and my code is as follows:

use Array::Compare;
my @arr1 = (1,2,3,4,5,6);
my @arr2 = (1,2,3,4,5,6);
my $comp = Array::Compare->new;
if ($comp->full_compare(\@arr1, \@arr2)) {
   print "Arrays are the same\n";
} else {
   print "Arrays are different\n";
}

I am using full_compare so that each and every element of the first array will be matched with the corresponding element of the second array. But, even through the two arrays have the same content, I encounter the message "Arrays are different". Can anyone tell me what would have went wrong in this? If I make a 'compare' or 'compare_len' the script is working perfectly.
