( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi all, I'm trying to create a new array called @result that contains the elements of @dead_list without those that also appear in @get_list.

@dead_list

$VAR1 = [ [ 100, 101, 103, 200, 201, 202, 203, 210, 211, 212, 220, 221, 222, 230, 231, 232, 233, 240, 241, 242, 243, 1000, 1001, 1002, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1120, 1121, 1122, 1210, 1211, 1212 ] ];

@get_list

$VAR1 = [ [ '100', '200', '210', '220', '230', '240', '1000', '1001', '1002', '1120', '1210' ] ];

Here's the code I'm using:

sub remove_x99 { my @dead_list = shift; my @get_list = shift; ###REMOVE TARGET X99 ENTRIES FROM DEAD_lIST print Dumper\@dead_list; print Dumper\@get_list; my %lookup; my @result; @lookup{@get_list} = (); print Dumper \%lookup; foreach my $elem (@dead_list) { push(@result, $elem) unless exists $lookup{$elem}; } print Dumper\@result; }

And here's what the Dumper of %lookup looks like:

$VAR1 = { 'ARRAY(0x1a56440)' => undef };

I'm completely baffled as @results just returns the exact same thing as @dead_list... can anyone help please?

  • 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).
