Alternatively, rather than having a (painfully?) large number of hashes, toss them all one super hash, where the first 'dimension' of the hash indicates what it is...

$x{'hashname'}{'hashdim1'}{'hashdim2'} = 'blah'

rather than

$hash1{'hashdim11'}{'hashdim12'} = 'blah'
$hash2{'hashdim21'}{'hashdim22'} = 'bluck'
etc
