in thread using external file for hashes

I see. How about using Data::Dumper to make a file of your hashes? Then read this file in (split each structure based on some delimiter you add during the write process and rebuild hashes w/ eval like described in the answers to Read the Dumper data back to a hash.

    Check also Unexpected Data::Dumper results if your hashes contain references that might point to the same thing.
