Off the top of my head:

1) You're sql query is doing an dynamic hash inner join. You may get better results making sure the joins (as well as your selection criteria) are indexed fields.

2) You're essentially slurping in db records to markup the fields and dump it to files. If there is any way to can get around reading a trillion records into a hash (i.e., ORDER BY in the database... and the ordered fields are indexed) then you can read/markup/write the records retail without thrashing ram/swap.

Well, that's my $.02 worth. No, for refunds you'll have to check our customer service department.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
