Try: Test::Deep - Extremely flexible deep comparison Data::Compare - compare perl data structures Data::Match - Complex data structure pattern matching Other modules which may prove useful: Data::Diver - Simple, ad-hoc access to elements of deeply nested structures Data::DRef - Delimited-key access to complex data structures Data::Walker - A tool for navigating through Perl data structures (Thanks to princepawn for finding these.)

The Data::Nested module has the ability to compare data structures. See the `identical` method.	[reply] [d/l]

You can use the function `is_deeply` from the core module Test::More.	[reply] [d/l]
