Using a sequential integer as the key for your hashes %firms and %acs is a give-away that you really want an array, not a hash.

 my (@firms);
while (defined( my $line = <FH1> ) ){
    chomp $line;            
    my (%hash);
    my ($type, $location1, $location2, $label) = split ',', $line, 12;
    $hash{type} = $type;
    $hash{label} = $label;
    push @firms, \%hash;
}

Update: suggestion for a more compact way to extract the data from array of hashes for uploading (using an hash slice):

@fields=qw(name64 label location1 subnet support_radius);
for(my $i=0; $i<=$#firms; $i++) {
  $firms[$i]->{subnet} /= 32;
  $upload .= sprintf "%s\n", join ',', @{$firms[$i]}{@fields};
}

Update 2: as pointed out by Albannach, the commas did not belong in the array definition
