comparision of two files

[RAGHAVENDRAS]

Hi Friends,

I am writing a script to compare two files put in two arrays and I expect the those elements which are found in array2 that are not in array1. here there are 2 files Perf.txt which contains some names, and Neu.txt contains some names which are common as well as some different names. Now I am interested only in different names that are not present in Perf.txt

My script:

open (PERF, "Perf.txt");
open (DSA, "Neu.txt");

@Perf = <PERF>;
@Neu = <DSA>;
my %seen; # lookup table

# build lookup table
@seen{@Neu} = ();

foreach $item (@Perf)
{
# print ($item) unless exists $seen{$item};
push (@miss, $item) unless exists $seen{$item};
}

foreach(@miss)
{
print "\nElement found ---> $_";
}

When I execute this I am getting all the names which are present in Neu.txt.
Please suggest me what I am wrong.

Thanks and Regards,
Raghavendra S

open (PERF, "Perf.txt") or die "can't open perf.txt: $!";
open (DSA, "Neu.txt") or die "Can't open neu.txt: $!";

chomp(@Perf = <PERF>);
chomp(@Neu = <DSA>);
my %seen; # lookup table

# build lookup table
@seen{[B]@Neu[/B]} = ();

foreach $item ([B]@Perf[/B])
{
# print ($item) unless exists $seen{$item};
push (@miss, $item) unless exists $seen{$item};
}

foreach(@miss)
{
print "\nElement found ---> $_";
}
