Monks
I'm sure this is easy but I would like your opinion on the best way of doing this.
I have three hash arrays
hash array %get_snmp has keys oids and values oid_values
hash array %table_match has keys oids and values perf_equivs (oids the
+ same as in %get_snmp)
hash array %get_perf has keys perf_equivs and values perf_values (perf
+_equivs the same as in %table_match)

[download]
So for example I might have 
%get_snmp = (status, 3, max_status, 7)
%table_match = (status, pabStatus, max_status, pabMaxStatus)
%get_perf = (pabStatus, 2, pabMaxStatus, 7)

[download]

I want to check if the perf_values are equal to their corresponding oid_values
So in the example above I want to check if the status value (3) is equal to the pabStatus value (2) and if the max_status value (7) is equal to the pabMaxStatus value (7)
Each of the hash arrays have over 50 elements each in them
Would references be the best way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
