hashes and array of hashes

I have an array of hashes and a hash, i needed to check the values of both and if they are different replace the key/value pair in the array of hashes with the key value pair in the hash. For example the key value pair NAME => 'Y' in the AoH is different from the %default, I need to replace this for NAME=>'N' in the array of hashes. Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks!
 

$VAR1 = [
           {'NAME' => 'Y',
            'FILE' => 'file.txt',
            'YEAR' => '1988'}
 
        ]
 
%default = {'MODE' = '2', ''NAME' => 'N','FILE' => 'file.txt', 'YEAR' => '1987'}

@$VAR1 = map{ {%default,%$_} } @$VAR1 ;

#sorry, I was thinking $VAR1 would override the default, but it sounds like you want the default to override $VAR1
@$VAR1 = map{ {%$_, %default} } @$VAR1 ;
#or
@{$_}{keys %$_}=@default{keys %$_} for @$VAR1;
