I've succeeded somewhat in doing it with the code below, but this cannot be efficient and I know there must be a better approach.

Well, I'd get rid of all those if with a foreach and a counter. Pseudo-code below.

 my @fields = ( 'c_state', 'c_city' );
 my $field_count = scalar(@fields);
 my $matched_data = 0;

 foreach (@fields) {
   if ($SAVE->{$_} eq $COMPARE->{$_}) { $matched_data++; }
 }

 if ($field_count == $matched_data) { delete; }
