However, after read all data into memory, I need to process it from beginning to end once to get wanted data line based on given criteria,

Why read it all in -- ie. read every line, allocate space for every line, extend the array to accommodate every line -- if you only need to process the array once?

In other words, why not?:

while( <TEMPFILE> ) { processLine( $_ ) }

Also, you are throwing away performance with how you are passing data back from your subroutines. Eg:

return (%hashed);

That builds a hash in hash_array(), the return statement converts it to a list on the stack; then back at the call site:

my (%trec) = &hash_array(@arr);

You convert that list from the stack back into another hash. Then, you immediately return that hash to the caller of line2rec(), converting it to another list on the stack:

my (%trec) = &hash_array(@arr); return (%trec); }

And then back at that call site, you convert that list back into yet another hash:

my (%trec) = &line2rec($line);

And all of that in order to test if the line contains the string 'active':

if ($trec{'active'})

The whole process can be reduced to (something like; the regex will probably need tweaking to select the appropriate field):

my @data; while( <TEMPFILE> ) { /active/ and push @data, $_; }

It'll be *much* faster.
