That looks like it is on the right track, I will probably adjust it to:

my %table_fields = (
    table1 => [ 'field1||objectname1' , 'field2||objectname2'  , 'fiel
+d3||objectname3'  ],
    table2 => [ 'field1||objectname1'  , 'field2||objectname8'  , 'fie
+ld3||objectname10'  ],
);

Then I can split each element and have the user object that the data lives in right handy also. Good one, thanks
