Recursively traverses two data structures and tests for match. Takes any data type; arrays and hashes must be passed by reference. Returns false if two arrays have the same items in a different order. Streamlined for speed with large numbers of data items.
EDIT: Edited to test CODE refs.
use strict; use warnings; sub match { return ($_[0] eq $_[1] ? 1 : 0) if ! ref $_[0] && ! ref $_[1]; my ($x, $y, $i) = @_; return 0 if ref $x ne ref $y; if (ref $x eq 'ARRAY') { return 0 if $#$x != $#$y; for ($i = 0; $i <= $#$x; $i++) { return 0 if ! match($x->[$i], $y->[$i]); } return 1; } if (ref $x eq 'HASH') { return 0 if scalar keys %$x != scalar keys %$y; my @x = sort keys %$x; my @y = sort keys %$y; for ($i = 0; $i <= $#x; $i++) { return 0 if $x[$i] ne $y[$i]; } for ($i = 0; $i <= $#x; $i++) { return 0 if ! match($x->{$x[$i]}, $y->{$y[$i]}); } return 1; } return ($x eq $y ? 1 : 0); }
