store index numbers of all array1 elements in array2 which equalkeys in a hash

[birgit kellner]

my %hash = ('firstkey' => 'firstvalue',
        'secondkey' => 'secondvalue',
        'thirdkey' => 'thirdvalue');
my @array = ('secondkey', 'other element', 'still other element', 
'firstkey');
my @index_array;
foreach my $element (@array) {
        # QUESTION: here I'd like to have some code that returns the index number 
of $element, which I'd store in $index
        if ($hash{$element}) {
                push (@index_array, $index);
                }
        }

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Birgit Kellner
