You can use this way as well..

foreach $ip (keys(%subnets)) { if("$subnets{$ip}{'comment'}" eq "") { $subnets{$ip}{'comment'} = "ALLOCATED"; } print "$subnets{$ip}{'comment'}\n"; }

    If you are testing if a value is defined, you should test that. It is possible (not knowing this person's dataset) that empty string is a legitimate value. exists, defined and eq are different for a reason.

    If you use warnings, Perl will emit a warning every time you compare with an undefined value; it's a helpful tool to figure out if you've forgotten to initialize a variable. With your code and warnings, there would be a large amount of unnecessary noise on STDERR.
