[ltp] perl question:

[ROOT, DAN]

I know this has little to nothing to do with Linux on ThinkPads other than I
use my ThinkPad for school, but thought I might ask anyway.  For my class I
have created a random numeric array which has 10 elements.  I am suppose to
do a few things with it, but the one thing I seem to be a little stumped on
is finding the most common occurrence of an element and then returning it's
value.

Example:

@array = 2 4 6 3 4 8 1 9 7 5

Mode = 4

How do I capture that "4" is the most common element of the array?  I have
tried using grep and a loop, but I am not getting the results I had hoped
for.  Any pointers from anyone would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks!
