Something like this would prevent one of the arrays from being processed in the cross product.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Set::CrossProduct;

my %hash=('ID' => {
                  'key1' => ['key1_val1', 'key1_val2'],
                  'key2' => ['key2_val1', 'key2_val2'],
                  'key3' => ['one', 'two']
                  }
          );

for my $id (keys %hash) {
    my $key3 = delete $hash{$id}{key3};
    my @data = values %{ $hash{$id} };
    
    my $cp = Set::CrossProduct->new( \@data );
    
    my $i = 1;
    while( my $array_ref = $cp->get ) {
        print join( " ", $id, $i++, @$array_ref ), "\n";
    }
    
    print "@$key3\n";
}

Prints

ID 1 key2_val1 key1_val1
ID 2 key2_val1 key1_val2
ID 3 key2_val2 key1_val1
ID 4 key2_val2 key1_val2
one two

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.
