If the hash does exist you could also do this: 

for (@ListOfData) {
  %hash = (%hash, /(\S+)\s+(.*)/);
}

    As you say, having to go through all the items in %hash each time you add a key is definitely _not_ what you want in terms of speed. This is an _ok_ technique if you want to merge two arrays, as was I believe was pointed out in this node's discussion. However, this is best as a "once only" kind of deal.
