By hash array do you mean an array of hashes (AoH), a hash of arrays
(HoA), or are you merging the names hash and associative array (the
real name of hashes)? By your question I think you mean the last
item. You can loop through the array using for and test for the
existence of a key with exists:
for my $element (@array) {
if (exists $hash{$element}) {
print "$element is in the hash\n";
}
}
