Provided that either the array's values are unique or provided that you don't care for the number of occurences, you could use the array's values as hash keys. You can either compare the hashes, as you already are able to, or you can try this:
my @base= qw/b c d e/;
my @dist= qw/w x y z/;
my @id = @base;
my @more= qw/a b c d e/;
my @less= qw/b c d/;
my @intr= qw/a b c d/;
print compare(\@base, \@dist);
print compare(\@base, \@id );
print compare(\@base, \@more);
print compare(\@base, \@less);
print compare(\@base, \@intr);
sub compare {
my($b, $c)= @_;
my %a;
@a{@$b}= ();
my $n= scalar %a;
@a{@$c}= ();
return "differ\n" if $n ne scalar %a;
delete @a{@$c};
return "differ\n" if scalar %a;
return "identical\n";
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
