Oddly enough there's the Array::Compare module (by our own davorg) for comparing arrays, or you could use the Data::Compare module for comparing any ol' data (yes, including hashes). You could also check out the perlfaq for information on how to hand-roll array and hash comparison routines. Also check out the Q&A section for even more info on how to do array and hash comparision. You're spoilt for choice really ;-) HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply]

hotshot, Take a look at thread Need a test for deep equality. Although most of the routines did not meet my exact requirements, many of the routines here will do what you are asking.	[reply]
