u meant access the database for every lookup that will be more efficient? I am expecting an inflow of data like this 100 file/min 2600 records in each file and this perl script has to execute in every 10-15 mins i have a memory of 64gb.	[reply]

I mean that for the amount of data and the complexity of queries that you're talking about, using a database will probably be more efficient than trying to manipulate your own in memory data structures. Will it be fast enough on your system? I have no way of knowing. I suggest trying it and seeing what happens.
