aitap's solution works fine, but I did a version using only 1 hash (and 1 array).

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my (@genes, %tested);
while (<>) {
    s/^>//;
    
    my ($col1, $col2) = split;
    push @genes, $col1;
    $tested{$col2}++; 
}

{
    local $\ = "\n";
    for (@genes) {
        print if not $tested{$_};  
    }
}

When reading from the empty, <>, brackets, a file to read from has to be typed at the command line. For this program, I had the contents in file o33.txt.

C:\Old_Data\perlp>type o33.txt
>chr9:133738100-133738472_0 chr20:62159728-62161126_840

Then, my command line was the name of the program, t1.pl followed by the name of the file to read from, o33.txt.

perl t1.pl o33.txt

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).
