in reply to Comparing hashes without sorting the keys

That doesn't compare the keys. It compares the number of hash buckets vs hash buckets used values for each hash. You are comparing strings like "1/16" and "24/32" which is only of use when you are debugging hash bucket usage. You can use Storable to serialize your hashes for comparison: Storable::freeze( \%a ) eq Storable::freeze( \%b ).

    thanks Diotalevi,
    can you explain a little more this number of hash buckets vs hash buckets used values for each hash..

    so there is not a smart way to do this ?

      The smart way uses either Storable or the (unknown to me) Data::Compare module someone else recommended. You can find more information about hash buckets by using Super Search.
