This seems a bit of work to do strictly in Perl, but this should do what you want to do. However I do believe that davido's suggestion of the module is cleaner to work with as you're not doing the conversion of the hash to a sorted array, then to a string. 

#!/usr/bin/perl/

use strict;

my %aa=(uno=>1, due=>2);
my %bb=(due=>2, uno=>1);

my ($aa,$bb,@aa,@bb);

**updated**
@aa=sort(%aa);
@bb=sort(%bb);

$aa = join("",@aa);
$bb = join("",@bb);

**updated

if ($aa eq $bb){
                print "Matches!\n";
                }
else{
     print "No match!\n";
     }

Update: As both samtregar and <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=56270>greenFox point out the original code blows up with the data they show in their nodes. However replacing the 

@aa=%aa;
@bb=%bb;

$aa = join("",sort @aa);
$bb = join("", sort @bb);

with 

@aa=sort(%aa);
@bb=sort(%bb);

$aa = join(" ",@aa);
$bb = join(" ",@bb);

I believe should do what I originally intended.

Sorting the hash, not the array, and leaving the space in should solve the problem found by the other monks.

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
