Ok I'll show you the structure:

The attention is on 'COMB' key that reference the hash with 180000 keys of about 20-25 chr. The program must increase all the "lower level" key {Rit} for each "while" cicle that read line by line from the previous discussed Files (9000+ lines).

I know its a huge work, but who has an idea on how to make it faster? at this time it processes the 180000 values for 50 times (~9 million) in about 12 secs (the whole work could take about 2160 secs)

Thank you again to all of you! 


%DB_STATS = (

   'COMB' => {
              '1,2,4,6,9,11,13,15,16,17' => {
                                               'Rit' => 0,
                                               'Usc' => 0
                                            },
              '1,2,4,6,9,11,13,15,16,18' => {
                                               'Rit' => 0,
                                               'Usc' => 0
                                            },
              '1,2,4,6,9,11,13,15,16,19' => {
                                               'Rit' => 0,
                                               'Usc' => 0
                                            },
              'And 180_000 more Keys...' => {
                                               'Rit' => 0,
                                               'Usc' => 0
                                            },
             },

    'Other keys NOT of our interest',
    ...,
    ...,
