in reply to Compare two hash values for a match

in your top scope '$name' is never set, i.e. it's undef in all your attempts as hash key.

    Thank you! That made a lot of sense! Since it was not getting defined i couldn't compare my keys to undefined value. I changed it to 
    foreach $key(@key2) {
    $sysdef = $current{$key}{"nodesysoid"};
    if (exists $lookup{$sysdef}){
        #print "$key, $sysdef, $lookup{$sysdef}{name}, $source\n";
    }
}
