Hi
I think your array contains the element from 1 to 20 with the preceeding of "1."
You can find the missing element by generating the dummy array having all the elements with the increment value and the last element value, to compare with the original input array. Like
use strict;
use List::Compare::Functional qw(:originals :aliases);
my @argen = (1..20);
map{s/^/1./} @argen; #To create the dummy array having all the elem
+ents with the increment value and the last element value
my @arin=("1.1","1.2","1.3","1.4","1.5","1.7","1.10"); #Consider the e
+lement in string, if not it will treat "1.10" as "1.1"
my @ardif = get_unique( [ \@argen, \@arin ] ); #it gives the elemen
+ts present in the first but not present in second
if(@ardif){
$"=", ";
print "The missing elements are: @ardif";
}

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).
