I have to hashes A and B with various keys in common. I need to look at the value for each key and determine if that value is the same in both hashes. The problem is some values are scalars and some are references to anonymous arrays. It may be possible that a key in A is a scalar and that same key in B is a list or vise versa (see table below). Also if, A or B or Both is an Array, I need to see if each specific value of A is in list B, not the entire list (order inside the hash is not important). 
    A    |    B
===================
  Array  |  Array
  Scalar |  Array
  Array  |  Scalar
  Scalar |  Array
