if that's an issue you can do a comparison on the variables pretty easily.
You can also seek through the hash with something like...
foreach(keys(%whateverthevariableisimnotgoingtocheck)) {
my($original) = split(/\t/);
if ($original eq $new) {
if ($_ ne $newvariablehashreference) { &init(blah); }
}
}
