Hash of hashes on 1.8 million entries might be a little heavy on the memory..
Additionally, you hit yourself for 50x the runtime, since you iterate through all the hash keys for every NetFanout in which you are interested.
What you need to ask yourself here is whether the hash table is required at all.. A hash table gives you fast random access to entries - you don't use that anywhere. All you need to do is iterate through it all. Plus, your $NetFanout is a small integer number - why hash it at all? - use it to index into an array directly - this way you don't even need to explicitly sort, you get that for free.
Instead of doing 
$NetNameAndFanout = join (" ",$NetName,$NetFanout);
$NetStatsHash{$NetNameAndFanout} = join (" ",$NetCap,$NetRes,$NetLengt
+h,$FirstDriver);

try 
use constant (p_name   => 0,
              p_cap    => 1,
              p_res    => 2,
              p_length => 3,
              p_driver => 4);

push @{$NetStats[ $NetFanout ] ||= []}, [ $NetName, $NetCap, $NetRes, 
+$NetLength, $FirstDriver, ];

Note that I use an extra technique to store things in small arrays to save on memory, but enumerate their positions to keep further code readable.
Now (with some other cleanup) your summary code becomes: 
my $filter = sub {
  return 0 if ($UseDriverCell and $_[0]->[p_driver] !~ /$DriverPattern
+/ );
  return 0 if ($UseNetPattern and $_[0]->[p_name]   !~ /$NetPattern/ )
+;
  
  # If we are here, then either we matched all requirements, or there 
+weren't any
  return 1;
};

foreach my $i (1..$UpperFanoutLimitOfTable) {
  
  my $Count = 0;
  
  foreach my $net (grep {$filter->($_)} @{$NetStats[$i]}) {
    if ($DebugMode) { .. do debugging output ..  }         
      
    $TotalCap[$i]    += $net->[p_cap];
    $TotalRes[$i]    += $net->[p_res];
    $TotalLength[$i] += $net->[p_length];
    $FanoutCount++;
  }
  
  if ($Count > 0) {
  
    $CapAvg[$i] = $TotalCap[$i] / $Count;
    $ResAvg[$i] = $TotalRes[$i] / $Count;
    $LengthAvg[$i] = $TotalLength[$i] / $Count;

    if ($DebugMode) {
      printf ("CapAvg[$i] = %0.6f\n",$CapAvg[$i]);
      printf ("ResAvg[$i] = %0.6f\n",$ResAvg[$i]);
      printf ("LengthAvg[$i] = %0.6f\n",$LengthAvg[$i]);
    }

  }
  else {
    print ("No nets match input criteria when fanout = $i.  Please rev
+iew command-line settings--they may be too restrictive!");
  }
