%ignore = map { $_ => 1 } @ignore;
@diff = map { $a{$_} ne $b{$_} }

different from %b, excluding those of %ignore.
note: this is untested.

different systems and I want to compare these hashes to see if the
systems are out of sync. The catch is I know that some of the fields
will always be different and I want to ignore those fields. Below is my
solution, does a
