I have a hash:

my %languages = (
                        ASM => 'Assembler',
                        PL => 'Perl',
                        C => 'C',
                        JV => 'Java',
                        VB => 'Visual Basic',
                        DLP => 'Delphi',
                );

and an array: my @employee = ('PL', 'VB', 'C'); What I want to do is come up with an array containing those unmatched keys from the hash. That is, in my example:

 my @result = ('ASM', 'JV', 'DLP');

I'm looking for a smart way to achieve this. I could do it with a loop and compare type thing, but am sure there is a clever and better way to do it.

(Background info: it's for a HRM skills database. I've read in the skill records for an employee, and want to put a text box at the top of the form from which they can add a new skill to their records).
