How to compare two fields from two arrays - Perl

Question

I have two different arrays (@first, @second, for exemple) and I wanna compare $first[2] to $second[4]. If there is a match, then I'm gonna print some things. I'm new on Perl, and I thought this was an easy task, but I cannot figure ir out...i've tried many different thing, but my resul only compared one register on the first array to the second array.

Answer 1

Are the values strings or numbers?

• Compare strings with eq
• Compare numbers with ==

In case of doubt, probably use eq :

print "String same\n" if ($first[2] eq $second[4]);
print "Number same\n" if ($first[2] == $second[4]);
