in reply to Perl Golf-- testing array intersection

Both your and Errto’s solutions violate your spec: they will ignore duplicate elements in @x, but they report duplicate matches in @y.

The best I’ve come up with that works correctly is 49 characters (or 51 if you care about the context issue).

    My interpretation of the spec allowed that behavior but ok, here's one at 45 chars that follows the duplicate rule: 
    sub match {
# 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345
  ++$c{$_}for@x;++$d{$_}for@y;grep$d{$_},keys%c
}
