Dear Monks,

I have a hash of hashes. The lower hash contains a number of values associated with indentical keys, which are shared across all lower hashes. However, across the higher hash keys, the composition of the lower hash keys can varry.

e.g.(lower hash keys)
Fruit : bannana
More_Fruit : peach
Even_more_Fruit : grape

Upper keys.
Downtown_Market : Fruit, More_Fruit, Even_more_Fruit
Uptown_market : More_fruit, Fruit
East_market : Even_more_fruit

I provide this to make the question make a bit more sense.
What I would like to do is get a print out of each key in a set order. So say print something like:

Downtown_market : (Fruit, More_fruit, Even_more_Fruit)
Uptown_Market :   (Fruit, More_fruit,                )
East_Markey :     (     ,           , Even_More_Fruit)
#Note: Spaces are there for effect, to show I am skipping parts

Here is the code I have thus far, however the print bit is the hard part for me. I have read in the cookbook about printing in insertion order, but that is not what I want here. I want an order that I define. I am thinking a map function might work, but I can't figure out how to make that work.

use Data::Dumper;

my %hash;
my %hash_2;
my %over_hash;

my @array_1 = ('value'); #eg. grape.
my @array_2 = ('value_2'); #eg. orange
my @array_3 = ('value_3');
my @array_4 = ('value_4');

$hash{'key1'}=[@array_1]; #eg. Fruit
$hash{'key2'}=[@array_2]; #eg. More_Fruit
$hash{'key3'}=[@array_3];
$hash{'key4'}=[@array_4];

$hash_2{'key1'}=[@array_1]; 
$hash_2{'key2'}=[@array_2]; 
$hash_2{'key4'}=[@array_4];

$over_hash{'key1'} = [%hash]; #eg. Downtown_Market
$over_hash{'key2'} = [%hash_2]; #eg. Uptown_market

print Data::Dumper->Dumpxs([\%over_hash], [q{*over_hash}]);

foreach my $unlocked (keys %over_hash) {
    my %internal_hash = @{$over_hash}{$unlocked};
    foreach my $keys (keys %internal_hash) {
        my @print_value = @{$internal_hash{$keys}};
    }
    print "@print_value\n";
}

#order to print = (key1, key3, key4, key2);


# how do I make the hash print in the order I want.
# while leaving blanks for positions that are missing.
#e.g.
#overhash_key1 : key1 : key3 : key4, key2
#overhash_key2 : key1 :      : key4, key2
