way in the node below .
If your hashes aren't too large on average I wonder if something like this would be efficient.
sub compare_keys {
my ($h1,$h2);
my ($k1,$k2) = ( join('',sort keys %$h1), join('',sort keys %$h2) )
+;
return $k1 eq $k2 ? 1 : 0;
}
Of course I know you're not suppose to rely on hash order but would two hashes with the same keys return in the same order? I would think so but don't know (And don't have time to test) but if it did you could skip the sort. But it probably would be a bad idea.
