Hello Experts, I have started my perl journey 4 months ago, and I am enjoying and feeling good about it :) - I get a lot of help from PerlMonks!! Just got into the hashes and need some help figuring out how I compare the values inside a hash 


foreach my $elem (@vgmap) {
   printf "$elem->{node}:$elem->{vg}:$elem->{maj_num}\n";
}

The output I get from the above is like this: 
node1:vg1:36
node2:vg1:36
node1:vg2:37
node2:vg2:37
node1:vg3:38
node2:vg3:40

The third ":" delimited field is volume group major number, I'd like to compare that major number for each vg on the 2 nodes (node1 and node2) and make sure they match (for ex: vg1 has 36 on both nodes which is desirable but vg3 has a mismatch and I want to flag that). Thanks in advance!!
