If you don't care how you get the results, then this works (if I read your problem statement correctly). It uses List::Compare from CPAN.

#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Data::Dumper::Simple;
use List::Compare;

my @dead_list = (100,
            101,
            103,
            200,
            201,
            202,
            203,
            210,
            211,
            212,
            220,
            221,
            222,
            230,
            231,
            232,
            233,

            241,
            242,
            243,
            1000,

            '1002',
            '1120',
            '1210',);

my $lc = List::Compare->new(\@dead_list, \@get_list);
my @result = $lc->get_unique;

say Dumper(@result);

__END__

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
