Greetings: The following code worked for me: 

#! /usr/bin/perl

%hash1=("key1"=>"value1","key2"=>"value2", "key3"=>"value3", "key4"=>"
value4", "key5"=>"value5");
@array=(key3, key4);

foreach (@array){
    delete($hash1{"$_"});
    }

while (($key,$value)= each (%hash1)){
print "$key =$value\n"};

[download]
by producing 
key5 =value5
key2 =value2
key1 =value1
