Thanks so much for replying BrowserUk.But, the issue is Dump is not working when both the data structures are not in order. For e.g. Though these two data structures are the same, since they are not sorted,output says that they are different.
my @array1 = [ {'platformid' => '100','da' => 'A.9','os' => 'microsoft amd64 wNT-6.1- +S','ma' => 'A.9','cc' => 'A.9','size' => [{'objecttype' => 'OB2BAR',' +totalsize' => '230986 KB','application' => 'IDB','hostname' => '5096' +},{'objecttype' => 'WINFS','totalsize' => '1262152 KB','application' +=> 'R: [New Volume]','hostname' => '5096'},{'objecttype' => 'WINFS',' +totalsize' => '574463 KB','application' => 'C:','hostname' => '5096'} +],'objecttype' => '6','host' => '5096'}, {'platformid' => '22','da' => 'A.9','os' => 'hp-ux-11.31','host' => '2 +060','cc' => 'A.9','ma' => 'A.9','size' => [{'objecttype' => 'FILESYS +TEM','totalsize' => '3628129 KB','application' => '/depot','hostname' + => '2060'}],'objecttype' => '2'} ]; my @array2 = [ {'platformid' => '22','da' => 'A.9','os' => 'hp-ux-11.31','host' => '2 +060','cc' => 'A.9','ma' => 'A.9','size' => [{'objecttype' => 'FILESYS +TEM','totalsize' => '3628129 KB','application' => '/depot','hostname' + => '2060'}],'objecttype' => '2'}, {'platformid' => '100','da' => 'A.9','os' => 'microsoft amd64 wNT-6.1- +S','ma' => 'A.9','cc' => 'A.9','size' => [{'objecttype' => 'OB2BAR',' +totalsize' => '230986 KB','application' => 'IDB','hostname' => '5096' +},{'objecttype' => 'WINFS','totalsize' => '1262152 KB','application' +=> 'R: [New Volume]','hostname' => '5096'},{'objecttype' => 'WINFS',' +totalsize' => '574463 KB','application' => 'C:','hostname' => '5096'} +],'objecttype' => '6','host' => '5096'} ];
