As previously mentioned, multi-tasking won't help. This prorgram is I/O-bound, and merging the results of the threads would be as expensive as building the results in the first place.
I just wanted to provide a cleaned up version of your code (with a few micro-optimizations).
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw( say );
use Sort::Naturally qw( nsort );
local $/ = ''; # Paragraph mode reads until a blank line.
my %grouped;
while (<>) {
my @lines = split /\n/, $_;
for (@lines[1..$#lines]) {
next if $_ eq '--'; # Omit if rarely true.
++$grouped{"D$1"}{$2} while /\bD\*([^*]*)\*([^*]*)\*D\b/g;
}
}
for my $k (nsort keys %grouped) {
say "$k=>" . join("|", keys(%{ $grouped{$k} });
}

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.
