Re: Re: Comparing hashes without sorting the keys

[samtregar]

That won't work! Try it on these hashes, which your code considers equal, for example:

    my %aa=(aa=>'aa', bb=>'bb');
    my %bb=(a=>'aaa', b=>'bbb');

-sam

++nicely spotted. Even just "flattening" the hash to an array is suicidal, consider

  my %aa=(aa=>'bb', cc=>'dd');
  my %bb=(bb=>'aa', dd=>'cc');

...ouch!

You're right! Given the OP's data I just hacked out a quick solution, but thanks for pointing out my flaw.

Good call.
