Data::Diff or Struct::Diff will tell you if the structures differ. To drill down and compare arbitrary perl structures to generate a perl structure of the diffs is a task similar (but more complex) than that done by Data::Dumper Data::Denter or YAML.

AFAIK there is no module that currently does this. I would suggest that writing a minimum case to deal with your data (like it sounds your have) is the best solution short of rethinking the app logic. BTW your desired result output is logically inconsistent (as noted by kvale) and should also contain 'name' => 'test1'.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
