artist,
A better problem description is necessary. Do you just want to find any pair of items with no similar numbers? Do you want to continue to find them after the first one? If so, can you use the same item in multiple matches?
Assuming the answers to the questions are yes, yes, and no, here's a basic skeleton for your code, using dragonchild's above subroutine
for(my $i=0; $i<@array; $i++) {
next if(!$array[$i]);
for(my$j=0; $j<@array; $j++) {
next if($i == $j);
next if(!$array[$j]);
if(is_ok($array[$i], $array[$j]) {
print "Found a match, $array[$i], $array[$j]";
$array[$i] = $array[$j] = "";
}
}
}
edit: originally had next if(!$i) and next if(!$j) which dragonchild pointed out to me. Corrected above ( next if(!$array[$i]))

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).
