in thread Fast seeking in a large array of hashes to generate a report.

Correct, but this only works for the "eq" operator, not for a regexp (i tried).
update i'll try it, i did not know about Tie::Hash::Regex. i'll let you know the result.

Have you looked at Tie::Hash::Regex -- that allows you to look for hash keys with a regular expression. I have no idea as to the performance impact of this though, so you'll have to benchmark it.
