One option is to short circuit the autovivification:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %Hash;
$Hash{44.52}{param1}{key1} = [ 101.01, 'val1' ];
$Hash{95.01}{param2}{key2} = [ 101.02, 'val2' ];
my $neededVal = 80.0;
if ( exists $Hash{$neededVal}
and exists $Hash{$neededVal}{param1}
and exists $Hash{$neededVal}{param1}{key1} )
{
print "DEFINED";
}
else {
for ( keys %Hash ) {
print "$_\n";
}
}
Output:
95.01
44.52
Update I: Added the needed defined, in case of an earlier (for example) $Hash{$neededVal}{param1}{key1} = 0.
Update II: Replaced defined with exists. Thank you, choroba.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
