I don't know how well this would scale on 14MB sets, but this might be a possible solution using Set::Scalar.

Yes, Eily had the most efficient solution. There's no need to create the 3 sets :-(

use Set::Scalar;

my %hash_4;
my $set_1 = Set::Scalar->new(keys %hash_1);
my $set_2 = Set::Scalar->new(keys %hash_2);
my $set_3 = Set::Scalar->new(keys %hash_3);

my $intersect = $set_1 * $set_2 * $set_3;

for my $key (@$intersect) {
    push @{$hash_4{$key}}, $hash_1{$key}, $hash_2{$key}, $hash_3{$key}
+;
}

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.
