I'd be delighted to do the job for you. You can contact me here for my rate. Of course, I'm not cheap. Alternately, you could post this to jobs.perl.org or one of the rent-a-coder sites.

Of course, you could just take the specification that you've described (which is quite good) and actually write it yourself. You'll be using a lot of hashes.

That said, what do you want "faster" for? This should just run once, right? Who cares if it runs in 2 minutes or overnight so long as it gets done ... ?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
