How did you do it? Unless you post code we can't tell what went wrong. Works fine for me
my @one = split /,/, '1,2,3,4,5,6';
my @two = split /,/, '2,9,8,4,7,6';
my @result;
for my $i ( 0 .. $#one ) {
push @result, $one[$i] - $two[$i];
}
my $result = join ',', @result;
print $result, "\n";
__END__
-1,-7,-5,0,-2,0
Update: As suggested by j1n3l0
use List::MoreUtils qw(pairwise);
my @one = split /,/, '1,2,3,4,5,6';
my @two = split /,/, '2,9,8,4,7,6';
our ($a, $b); # keep warnings happy
my $result = join ',', pairwise { $a - $b } @one, @two;

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).
