Hi Everyone I was hoping you might be able to help me with the following. I have 3 hashes and I want to iterate through the keys in each one and if I find a key that exists in all 3 hashes I want to then print out the corresponding values onto one line.

This is the content of hash one 

bigstor14_mpt nnap5307-s
 bigstor17_mpt nnap5307-s
 bigstor12_mpt nnap5307-s
 bigstorq3_mpt nnap3289-s

So for example I want to iterate through the keys in each hash and if the key bigstor14_mpt exists in all 3 hashes then I want to print out the corresponding values onto one line in an output file like this: nnap5307-s:/vol/bigstor_volB/bigstor14:/bb/bigstor14 Then continue the loop and if find another key that exists in all 3 hashes like for example bigstor17_mpt then grab the corresponding values from this key in each hash and then append to the output file the next line like this: nnap5307-s:/vol/bigstor_volC/bigstor17:/bb/bigstor17

I can sort the keys on one hash and print out the key/value pairs but I am really struggling with how to do the above. Please can you help me?
