I think you can start from this:
for (my $i = 0; $i < @AoA; $i ++) {
  for (my $j = $i+1; $j < @AoA; $j++) {   # start from the following e
+ntry
    my $tmp = join(',', $AoA[$j]);   # join each inner array to a stri
+ng
    if ($AoA[$j] =~ /$AoA[$i][0]\,(\w+)\,$AoA[$i][2]\,$AoA[$i][3]/) {
       # 0, 2 and 3 are equal, check 1
      if (AoA[$i][1] eq $1) {
         # found what we needed, do something
      }
    }
  }
}
