Dear Monks,
I had asked this question in CB yesterday but unforntunately was not able to solve the problem with the lead given. And after seeing the node for XY Problem I have repharsed my question! :) Please help me out in finding the right solution to the below problem

I have two hashes which would look as shown below 

%hashA = ( 11.5 => 1723478, 1734789, 1798761
           11. 12 => 1700123,
           11.01 => 1780345        
         );

I hope that the above multi-valued key can be established with Data::Dumper and Push. 
%hashB = ( 1723478 => 237, 
         1734789 => 114, 
         1798761 => 147
    
        );

My situtaion is,
1. I have to find the max key in hashA which hopefully can be done with max keys (%hashA).
2. One specific value has to be removed from a key. For example value 1734789 has to be removed from the key 11.5 leaving the other values intact.
3. Remove the corresponding key/pair value from hashB.

My problem is with step 2: I was not able to find a simple and quick approach to remove specific values of a particular key.
Please advise me on this.

Thanks,
Eshwar.
