Hash of arrays

[sally123]

I want to compare 2 hashes of arrays in the following manner:

Example:
%hoa=(A1=>[UP1,UP3,UP6],
A2=>[UP1,UP6],
A3=>[UP2,UP10],
);
%hoadip=(UP1=>[UP2,UP3,UP7],
UP2=>[UP10,UP9,UP3],
UP5=>[UP1,UP11],
);
Question:
1. Compare the values of %hoa with the keys of %hoadip
2. Then for each key matched, compare the values of the 2 hashes of arrays
3. Print the matching values

I think this thread, from here on Bytes.com, will provide the answer that you are looking for.

Hello,
The thread you recommended does not directly answer my question. I hope you will be able to help me.

The programming language I am using is perl.

I have the following:
%a=(A1=>[UP1,UP3,UP6],
A2=>[UP1,UP6],
A3=>[UP2,UP10],
);

%b=(UP1=>[UP2,UP3,UP7],
UP2=>[UP10,UP9,UP3],
UP5=>[UP1,UP11],
);

Please keep in mind that the keys are different, so I can't compare them.

Desired output:
A1 has values UP1, UP3, UP6.
Among these, only UP1 is a key in %b.
The values of UP1 are UP2, UP3, UP7. I have to compare these 3 values with the values in %a. Whichever key in %a has any of these values, I have to print them.

Example: A1 has UP1, UP3, UP6. UP1 key has values UP2, UP3, UP7. Among these, UP2 has the key A3 and UP3 has the key A1.
So output is: A1-A3,A1.

I hope this explanation is clear. Please let me know if there are any doubts.

At least for me it is not clear. Write an algorithm, not an example. IMHO, you should use foreach or each.
