Hey Monks
I'm trying to print and then remove duplicates from two arrays. By this I mean if the array 1 contains the number 3 and the array 2 contains the number 3 also. Then this would be printed and the numbers 3 removed from each array.

#!/usr/perl

use strict;

my @array1 = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);
my @array2 = (0,1,4,);
my $num = "3";
my $array1size = @array1;
my $array2size = @array2;

for (my $count1=0;$count1 < $array1size;$count1++){
   for (my $count2=0;$count2 < $array2size;$count2++){
     if ($array1[$count1] == $array2[$count2]){
        print $array1[$count1] . " is present in array1 and it (" . $a
+rray2[$count2] . ") is also present in array2!\n";
        splice (@array1, $count1, 1);
        splice (@array2, $count2, 1);
     }
   }
}

Any idea why this isn't working. My expected output is

O is present in array1 and it(0) is also present in array2!
1 is present in array1 and it(1) is also present in array2!
4 is present in array1 and it(4) is also present in array2!
