I'm afraid I don't know what you mean when you say:

  • minimise in accesing this hash and creating this hash
  • whethere my code is sufficient or not
  • improve the performance

For example, you can minimize accessing and creating the hash by removing the code that does those things, but I don't think that's what you mean. Sufficiency is dictated at least in part by whether or not the code meets your requirements (does it?). Re: performance, is there a specific bottleneck in your code that you're trying to refactor (i.e., have you benchmarked it?) or are you looking for general optimizations?

If you could clarify your OP, we will be able to give you much more specific answers.

For starters, though, you might want to consider cleaning up the innermost guts of the nested foreach loops by taking advantage of Perl's reference syntax (see perlref, perldsc, and perlreftut).

For example, instead of using constructs like ${$main_hash{$val}{$type}{$pegs}{'Section1'}}[0] everywhere, IMO it is cleaner and possibly more efficient to add a temp variable for the innermost reference:

my $href = $main_hash{$val}{$type}{$pegs}; my $T1val = defined $href->{'Section1'}[0] ? $href->{'Section1'}[0] : +undef;
This will reduce the code density of the inner loop, leaving less room for typos (use strict! use warnings!) and making the code easier to read/understand/maintain.

HTH

Update:

I'm confused. Why do you do this:

$T1val = defined ${$main_hash{$val}{$type}{$pegs}{'Section1'}}[0] ? ${ +$main_hash{$val}{$type}{$pegs}{'Section1'}}[0] : undef;

If the value is defined you assign that value to $T1val. If it is undefined you assign undef, but that is no different than what would have happened if you skipped the defined test and ternary operator. In other words, the whole line above is equivalent to this:

$T1val = ${$main_hash{$val}{$type}{$pegs}{'Section1'}}[0];

  • 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).
