(fixed typo in subject)
As long as the files aren't large, that's fine, except that you're not finding keys present in file B but not in file A.
You're using 2 hashes where one would suffice, so you can cut your memory usage in half.
Pseudo code:
Process File A contents and store in %hash_one
while(<FileB>) {
# do whatever you need to to compute $key
if (! exists $hash_one{$key}) {
print "File B contains $key but File A does not\n";
}
delete $hash_one{$key};
}
# the keys left in %hash_one weren't in File B
foreach(keys %hash_one) {
print "File A contains $key, but File B does not\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).
