Hi,
it is not exactly clear if you want to test the key or the value of the
pairs, but I assume you are after the values.

this would be a hash array (means key/value pairs)

This is a standard/classic array

so iterate over the hash and check for matches in the array
my %hash = ( 1=>8,2=>20,6=>100,15=>100 );
my @array = [1, 21, 100, 8, 15, 22, 6, 12, 56];
foreach my $key (keys %hash) {
if ( @array =~ /$hash[$key]/) {
print "key $key with value " . $hash{$key} .
" is in the array of values\n";
}
}
result
key 6 with value 100 is in the array of values
key 2 with value 20 is in the array of values
key 15 with value 100 is in the array of values
key 1 with value 8 is in the array of values
