You seem to be accumulating lots of data in the hashes, are you sure it all fits in memory? As soon as you force the computer to swap memory pages to disk, the processing time grows insanely!
It might help to tie the hashes to a DBM file (DB_File, MLDBM, ...) or use a SQLite or some other database to hold the temporary data. Doing as much work as you can upfront in the Oracle database would most probably be even though. Sometimes a use DB_File;tie %data, 'DB_File', 'filename.db'; is all you need to change something from unacceptably slow to just fine.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
