As 3dan notes, this question has been asked and answered many times. But just for fun, here's a quick (tested) solution that takes a different approach from that of tcf22. This leaves a hash (%counts) with all the results available for later processing. ( tcf22's approach could be adjusted to do that also.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @array_1 = qw/A B/;
my @array_2 = qw/A B C D A D B A C/;
my %check_1 = map { $_ => 1 } @array_1;
my %counts;
map { $counts{$_}++ if $check_1{$_} } @array_2;
print "$_ : $counts{$_}\n" for keys %counts;
Which results in:
A : 3
B : 2

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
