Yet another (more perl-ish) way to do it :
my @a = (1,2,3,4,5,6);
my @b=(1,5,3,6,8,2,4);
my %aref = map {$_=>\$_} @a;
my $cand; # Candidate value to replace the selected value
exists ($aref{$_}) or $cand=$_,last for @b;
${$aref{3}}=$cand; # Assuming you want the value "3" replaced
print @a;
#--Output --
#128456

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).
