Re: hash to hash comparison on large files

instead of

while(my ($key2,$value2)=each(%hash2)){
if($key1 eq $key2){
[download]

try

if(exists $hash2{$key1}){
[download]

you can reduce some time.

UPDATE
is it a typing mistake

open(FH,"file1.txt")or die "can not open file";
open(FH1,"file1.txt")or die "can not open file";
[download]

opening the same file twice?!

since

#push(@allhits,$key1);
[download]

foreach(@allhits){
[download]

will iterate over nothing!.

moreover you have to read file1 again to get first column of file1 to be written into file2, so better change(going by your method)

push(@file1,$list1[1]."#".$list1[2],$list1[4]);
[download]

push(@file1,$list1[1]."#".$list1[2],[$list1[4],$list1[0]]);
and in 
my @val1=split("/",$value1);
use 
my @val1=split("/",$value1->[0]);

and in 
#push(@allhits,$key1);
use 
push(@allhits,[$key1,$value1->[1]]);#(correction from 0 to 1)

and in 
my($id,$location)=split("#",$_);
use
my($id,$location)=split("#",$_[0]);

and in 
print "$_";.
use
print "@{$_}"; # to what you got to write.
[download]

(Untested)

I agree with moritz on

    while(my $str=<FH1>){
[download]

so use seek to move file pointer to the beginning after while loop ends
