Thanks nezabudka for your response. Your code yielded a very close results - only thing is that the update column value is not 12 bytes long (like the original).
Also, if I read your code correctly, you are looking for a "DR" string - it doesn't always have to be DR - could be something else. Also, what would happen if DR value appears in a different column position.

struct::compare
Compare(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Compare(3pm)NAME
Struct::Compare - Recursive diff for perl structures.
SYNOPSIS
use Struct::Compare;
my $is_different = compare($ref1, $ref2);
DESCRIPTION
Compares two values of any type and structure and returns true if they are the same. It does a deep comparison of the structures, so a hash
of a hash of a whatever will be compared correctly.
This is especially useful for writing unit tests for your modules!
PUBLIC FUNCTIONS
o $bool = compare($var1, $var2)
Recursively compares $var1 to $var2, returning false if either structure is different than the other at any point. If both are
undefined, it returns true as well, because that is considered equal.
BUGS /NEEDED ENHANCEMENTS
o blessed references
compare currently does not deal with blessed references. I need to look into how to deal with this.
