in thread Efficient way to handle huge number of records?

Hi, it is fairly simple. You store the hash in a file, and then retrieve it when you want to use it (see example below). It is retrieved as a hashref, but you can make it a regular hash with a '%' prefix
use Storable; store \%table, 'file'; $hashref = retrieve('file');
Good luck
