Need Help??

It isn't the easiest to understand, but that's very nice outside the box thinking!

Update: minor niggles: use $#a since that's what you mean — and please, please, use better variable names.

my @list = ( 41888, 41889, 41890, 41892, 41895 );
my @missing = map { ( $list[ $_ - 1 ] + 1 ) .. ( $list[ $_ ] - 1 ) } 1
+ .. $#list;

(Twelve years later - directed here by a post on Stack Overflow.) I'm not convinced that `@list` is much of an improvement over `@a` as a name for an array :-) -- See the Copyright notice on my home node. Perl training courses	[reply]

I'm not convinced that @list is much of an improvement over @a as a name for an array :-) Thats a terrible unconviction :P @list is much times better than @array ... @a for short... because the question talks about a list of numbers, the @list ... and the @ tells us its array @numbers	[reply]
