Great ! Thanks, Rolf ! Is there a way to do this with multi-level hashes?

    Sorry, but what exactly is your intention?

    If it's just ease of syntax why don't you use YAML like I showed you?

    If it has to be Perl syntax use multilevel arrays like I showed you, too.

      Sorry to make it confusing but my intention is to be able to `do` a file with the information below and flag that key alpha->beta and later alpha->beta->gamma is defined twice. Duplicate keys can be at any level of the multi-level hash. 
      {
  alpha => {
    beta => {
      gamma => theta,
      delta => lambda,
    },
    beta => {
      gamma => zeta,
    },
  },
},

        No this is your approach, you should explain your intention to use such a weird approach.

        I'm sure we can help you, if we just knew why ... this smell like an XY Problem! =)

        Your dump isn't even valid Perl code (barewords as values)!

        Cheers Rolf
