I do actually want to keep the intersection of the array to itself. I also tried this in my script and ran into an issue. I then tried it against the basic example to see if I can follow the steps. The output is as follows: 
c d e
3
c d e
3
c d e
3
c d e
3
e
1
e f g h
4
e f g h
4
e f g h
4
d
1
....

I thought it would be more like this: 
cde
3
e
1
d
1

0
e
1
....

I thought it would compare @array1 to @arrays1 - 4 then compare @array2 to @arrays1 - 4 and so forth. I think I am just not following the loops. Thanks-
