Just use the first four fields, plus delimiters, as your hash key. Put the contents of one file in an array and associate line numbers with hash key: 
for (@file1) {
    $h{join ' ',(split / /)[0..3]} = $c++;
}

Then run through the other file, matching key and printing if rest isn't equal: 
while (<DATA>) {
    $key = join ' ',(split / /)[0..3];
    if (exists $h{$key}) {
         print if $_ ne $file1[$h{$key}];
    }
}

You'll want to change the delimiter to something other than spaces, but the following is a working section of code for demonstration purposes: 
use strict;
use warnings;

my ($c, %h, $key);
my @file1 = (
    "A B C D E F G\n",
    "A C B D E F G\n",
    "D B C A E F G\n",
    "B B C D E F G\n"
);

for (@file1) {
    $h{join ' ',(split / /)[0..3]} = $c++;
}

while (<DATA>) {
    $key = join ' ',(split / /)[0..3];
    if (exists $h{$key}) {
         print if $_ ne $file1[$h{$key}];
    }
}

__DATA__
A B C D E F G
A C B D E F H
D B C A I F G
B B C D E F G
