in thread Common hash keys

Your inner loop could be described as clubbing somebody to death with a loaded uzi. No need to iterate over the hash keys just to check if one is present. Looking up a key in a hash is the most basic operation a hash offers ;-)

    (: Indeed! (But I did not write Perl, did I?)

      Maybe
      my @keys_in_commmon = grep $hashref1->{$_}, keys %$hashref2;
      would've sufficed?? If you just have to determine if they have keys in common,
      if( grep $hashref1->{$_}, keys %$hashref2 ) { ... }
      would do the trick...
        I would say  my @keys_in_commmon = grepexists($hashref1->{$_}), keys %$hashref2; to avoid autovivification.
