It may not be quite what's wanted but if you use
my $chicago = { qw(tiger bob munch toy) }; my $wisconsin = { qw(tiger sara munch toy) }; my $rockford = { qw(tiger sara love toy) }; ... my $newIntersection = &intersection($chicago,$wisconsin,$rockford); OUTPUT tiger - only common key in all 3 hashes Also my $chicago = { qw(tiger 0 bob 0 munch 0 toy 0 ) }; my $wisconsin = { qw(tiger 0 sara 0 munch 0 toy 0 ) }; my $rockford = { qw(tiger 0 sara 0 love 0 toy 0 ) }; OUTPUT tiger toy - common keys in all 3 new hashes.
We don't keep the values though. key => undef.

The hash reference define I found somewhere else on this site but I can't remember where.
