Golfed, I get you down to 140, assuming the inputs are ordered smallest to largest. Interestingly enough, if you have the defined-or patch, I get down to 122. If the inputs aren't ordered, add 13 characters to both solutions.
Without //= patch: @x=@_;my%c;$e=sub{my$v=pop;exists$c{$v}?$c{$v}:$c{$v}=$v<0?0:$v==0||gr +ep&$e($v-$_),@x};$t=$s=0;{&$e(++$t)?$t-$s>=$x[0]&&last:($s=$t);redo}$ +s With //= patch: @x=@_;my%c;$e=sub{my$v=pop;$c{$v}//=$v<0?0:$v==0||grep&$e($v-$_),@x};$ +t=$s=0;{&$e(++$t)?$t-$s>=$x[0]&&last:($s=$t);redo}$s

Update: Actually, the inputs don't have to be ordered. It just means that the algorithm will take a little longer, but it will get the right results. Also, drop a character by reordering the assignment to $c{$v}. The //= patched version looks like:
@x=@_;my%c;$e=sub{my$v=pop;$c{$v}//=$v==0||$v>0&&grep&$e($v-$_),@x};$t +=$s=0;{&$e(++$t)?$t-$s>=$x[0]&&last:($s=$t);redo}$s

Update: Rewriting the redo-loop as a C-style for-loop drops to 111 characters for the //= patched version.
@x=@_;my%c;$e=sub{my$v=pop;$c{$v}//=!$v||$v>0&&grep&$e($v-$_),@x};for( +$t=$s=0;$t-$s<$x[0];&$e(++$t)or$s=$t){}$s

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
