if you do not want to alter the original hashes, then you must make copies of them before deleting. e.g.:
> perl -wMstrict -e
"my $hashrefA = {}; my $hashrefB = {};
my ($p, $q, $r, $s) = qw(fee fie foe fum);
$hashrefA->{$p}{$q} = { qw(a 1 b 2 x 8 y 9) };
$hashrefB->{$r}{$s} = { qw(c 3 d 4 x 6 y 7) };
my %Apq_not_in_Brs = %{ $hashrefA->{$p}{$q} };
delete @Apq_not_in_Brs{ keys %{ $hashrefB->{$r}{fum} } };
my %Brs_not_in_Apq = %{ $hashrefB->{$r}{$s} };
delete @Brs_not_in_Apq{ keys %{ $hashrefA->{fee}{$q} } };
print qq(Apq not in Brs: @{[ keys %Apq_not_in_Brs ]} \n);
print qq(Brs not in Apq: @{[ keys %Brs_not_in_Apq ]} \n);
"
Apq not in Brs: a b
Brs not in Apq: c d
also: please give the monks a break and read and follow the Writeup Formatting Tips; the markup you're using is not doing what you seem to expect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
