in reply to Add part of one hash to another

If you just want to omit that field, you could read File B like this:
while ( <TEXTFILE> ) { $csv->parse($_); push @H_USES, [ ($csv->fields)[0, 2..10] ]; # or whatever the numb +er of fields in the file }
Looks a bit simple ... have I understood the problem correctly? :)
