You could use the keys function to test for the existance of any keys. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $h = {
  'comp' => {
    'cmd' => {
      'tc1' => {
        platform_type => 'all',
        testsuite_type => 'all',
        view => 'private'
      },
      'tc2' => {
        platform_type => 'all',
        testsuite_type => 'all',
        view => 'private'}
      }
 }
};

delete $h->{comp}{cmd}{tc1};
delete $h->{comp}{cmd}{tc2};

unless (keys %{$h->{comp}{cmd}}){
  delete $h->{comp}{cmd};
}

unless (keys %{$h->{comp}}){
  delete $h->{comp};
}

print Dumper($h);
