(fixed typo in subject)

As long as the files aren't large, that's fine, except that you're not finding keys present in file B but not in file A.

You're using 2 hashes where one would suffice, so you can cut your memory usage in half.

Pseudo code:

Process File A contents and store in %hash_one while(<FileB>) { # do whatever you need to to compute $key if (! exists $hash_one{$key}) { print "File B contains $key but File A does not\n"; } delete $hash_one{$key}; } # the keys left in %hash_one weren't in File B foreach(keys %hash_one) { print "File A contains $key, but File B does not\n"; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
