How do I do a simple Perl hash equivalence compari

Question

I'm wondering if there's an idiomatic one-liner or a standard-distribution package/function that I can use to compare two Perl hashes with only builtin, non-blessed types. The hashes are not identical (they don't have equivalent memory addresses).

I'd like to know the answer for both for shallow hashes and hashes with nested collections, but I understand that shallow hashes may have a much simpler solution.

TIA!

Answer 1

You can use eq_deeply in Test::Deep::NoTest. It just returns a boolean that you can check, without the extra overhead of the testing capabilities of the main module.

Answer 2

Something like cmp_deeply available in Test::Deep ?
