Or just store the original key as the value of the canonicalized (lower-cased) hash. Look up in the lower case hash to find the key, then use the value of that hash to look up the value in the original hash.
#! /usr/bin/perl
%hash1 = ("John", 43, "Paul", 25, "Marie", 22);
%hash2 = ("john", 43, "Paul", 25, "marie", 22);
my %lc_hash1 = map { lc $_ => $_ } keys %hash1;
while (($KEY_2, $VALUE_2) = each %hash2){
if (exists $lc_hash1{lc $KEY_2}){
print "$KEY_2 : Matched\n";
print "Keys are: $lc_hash1{lc $KEY_2}, $KEY_2\n";
print "Values are: $hash1{$lc_hash1{lc $KEY_2}}, $VALUE_2\n";
}
else{
print "$KEY_2 : Did not match\n";
}
}

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).
