Re: Comparing hashes without sorting the keys

[diotalevi]

That doesn't compare the keys. It compares the number of hash buckets vs hash buckets used values for each hash. You are comparing strings like "1/16" and "24/32" which is only of use when you are debugging hash bucket usage. You can use Storable to serialize your hashes for comparison: Storable::freeze( \%a ) eq Storable::freeze( \%b ).

thanks Diotalevi,
can you explain a little more this number of hash buckets vs hash buckets used values for each hash..

so there is not a smart way to do this ?

The smart way uses either Storable or the (unknown to me) Data::Compare module someone else recommended. You can find more information about hash buckets by using Super Search.
