First, I'll suggest adding "use strict;" and "use warnings;" at the top of your script. You use $tottopCount in your calculations, but I don't see it getting set.

As far as how to handle your problem, just to give you a start, I'd suggest doing one thing at a time, add as many LOWn to as many MIDn as you need. Something like:

while( keys %addedLow < keys %lowlevelH ){ for my $lowLevel ( keys %lowlevelH ){ if( exists $addedLow{$lowLevel} ){ next; } if( $mid{$midItem}{CNT} + $lowlevelH{$lowLevel} <= 35000 ){ push( @{$mid{$midItem}{LowLevel}}, $lowLevel ); $mid{$midItem}{CNT} += $lowlevelH{$lowLevel}; $addedLow{$lowLevel} = 1; } } $midItem++; }
Then repeat the process for adding mid to top.

Note that this is not tested and is incomplete, just intended to provide some thoughts about a possible direction to take.
