I am using List::Compare, seemed like a good way to compare these two arrays. My comparing method doesn't seem to be producing the result it should be, though.. Would it be because doing ls -a stores each item on a new line? To clarify, here is the code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use List::Compare;

my $hostname = $ARGV[0];

my @hostFiles = qw/filecheck.pl hostscript.pl awesomeness.txt/;
my @output =`ssh $hostname "cd Desktop; ls -a"`;


$lc = List::Compare->new(\@hostFiles, \@output);
@Lonly = $lc->get_unique;
print @Lonly;

And this is what prints out

Password:


awesomeness.txt filecheck.pl hostscript.pl

[download]

So then I printed out what's on my desktop along with whatever @Lonly is saving as:


awesomeness.txt filecheck.pl hostscript.pl

.
 ..
 .DS_Store
 .localized
 PERL TESTS
 compare.pl
 greptest.pl
 hostfilecheck.pl
 hostscript.pl

[download]

Why would @Loutput still be showing hostscript.pl if that's on the Desktop?
