in reply to Compare two hash values for a match

It seems much easier to me to set up your lookup like this 

$lookup{$sysoid} = $name;

instead of 
$lookup{$name}{"name"}=$name;
$lookup{$name}{"sysoid"}=$sysoid;

because that is how you want to use it.

    Thank you! I actually reversed it and made my sysoid as the key value. It made it easier to compare keys later 
    if (defined $name and defined $sysoid){
        $lookup{$sysoid}{name} = $name;
        }
    
    }
