For comparing keys and values of two hashes:
# assume the hashes are the same
$same = 1;
# see if the number of keys is the same
if (keys(%this) != keys(%that)) {
$same = 0;
}
# compare each key-value pair
else {
for (keys %this) {
$same = 0, last unless
exists $that{$_} and
$this{$_} eq $that{$_};
}
}
After that code, $same will hold either 0 or 1.
