This will extract the id & label from each block much more quickly than your code, by reading one block at a time. I didn't understand your hash, so I've left that to you. 

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];

$/ = "\n----"; ## read 1 multiline record at a time

while( <DATA> ) {
    my( $label, $id ) = m[
        -El \s+ (\S+) .+?
        serial_id \s+ ( \S+ )
    ]xms or die 'Bad data';

    print "$label : $id";

}
