looks like good advice above on the xml/memory issues .. just a couple quick code comments:

Instead of $db->do("begin"); the 'AutoCommit' DBI attribute is typically used:

my $db = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $auth, { AutoCommit => 
+0 } );

might as well placeholder the DELETE statement, too (and don't need to prepare):
```
$del = $db->do(delete from master where org = ?", {}, $we);
[download]
```

You can use a slice of the hashref to make the bind variables easier to read/maintain:

$db2->execute(
  $we,
  $id,
  @{ $response->{offer}->{$id} }{ qw/
    city
    state
    zip
    link
    slots_available
    description
  / },
);
