sgrey:

You do it like this:

$ cat foo.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $hr = {
    KEY11=>{a=>1, b=>2, c=>3, d=>4},
    KEY12=>{a=>10, b=>20, c=>30, d=>40}
};

@{$$hr{KEY11}}{qw(a b)} = @{$$hr{KEY12}}{qw(c d)};

print Dumper($hr);

which gives you this:

$ perl foo.pl
$VAR1 = {
          'KEY12' => {
                       'c' => 30,
                       'a' => 10,
                       'b' => 20,
                       'd' => 40
                     },
          'KEY11' => {
                       'c' => 3,
                       'a' => 30,
                       'b' => 40,
                       'd' => 4
                     }
        };

Update: Oops--I read your question wrong. Oh, well, at least this example shows how to copy a slice of values to a different slice...

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
