Or just return a nested 3rd hash with the matching key/values.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $hash1 = {qw/
name1 ABCD
name2 BCD
name3 ASCDA
name4 AAAAA
/};

my $hash2 = {qw/
name1 0.2
name5 0.3
name4 0.0002
name7 0.222
/};


my %hash3 = &{sub{
    my ($hash1,$hash2,) = @_;
    my %hash3;
    foreach my $key (sort keys $hash1){
        if(defined($hash2->{$key})){
            $hash3{'hash1_values'}{$key} = $hash1->{$key};
            $hash3{'hash2_values'}{$key} = $hash2->{$key};
        }
    }
    return %hash3;
}}($hash1, $hash2);

print Dumper(sort %hash3);

My output:
rsx491@temple:~/Perl/test$ perl hash_compare_return_hash.pl
$VAR1 = { 'name1' => '0.2', 'name4' => '0.0002' };
$VAR2 = { 'name1' => 'ABCD', 'name4' => 'AAAAA' };
$VAR3 = 'hash1_values';
$VAR4 = 'hash2_values';
