Re^2: to pick the common element in the array

[Anonymous Monk]

does thie code work for common elements when the following two arrays are used? my @array1=('a','2','3','2'); my @array2=('1','2','3');

What happens when you try?

Perl is good about doing what you mean. Usually, languages will separate ascii data from numerical data, it's called "context". The code I showed treated alphanumeric strings and numbers exactly the same. So it should work.
