None of these repsonses sort the array. I would have thought that this solution would be flakey unsorted since hashs can come out in any order they please...
I do flattening for comparison by shoving a hashref into an array ( @foo = %{$foo} ) and then sorting the array ( @foo = sort @foo ) and flattening that into a string.,p>
The obvious problem with this is that if you have a hash where the keys/values were transposed then it would still appear equal. Similar situations will occur with other data anomolies.
Not a problem in my case, but worth remembering. |
