I have the following set of aarays: 
@lane01_1=    (200900..202543); 
@lane01_2=    (202544..204187);
@lane01_3=    (204188..205831);
@lane01_4=    (205832..207475);
@lane01_5=    (207476..210119);
@lane01_6=    (210120..211763);
@lane01_7=    (211764..213407);
@lane01_8=    (213408..215051);

Now I have a log file which is parsed for a certain number which I store in a variable $vector. Now if $vector matches any of the elements in @lane01_1 I need to print "1", If it matches the elements in @lane01_2, I need to print "2" and so on and so forth. Whats the best way to do this? Should I push these arrays in to a hash (and whats the easiest way to do that?) or can I do it without using a hash? Thanks!!
