What is the structure of these hashes? Does each hash contain a lot of redundancy? If so, try to 'normalize' them, which basically means splitting them up in even more hashes. :) How many keys? What is the minimal/average/maximal size of the values? How about storing the data in a database? -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
