I've watched this discussion, but not being familiar with 
Tie::SubstrHash, haven't spoken up until now. What kind of numbers 
are 114_862 and 100_000? If they're not really numerical, then 
testing and incrementing won't give the results your code seems to 
want. I imagine that this could cause your hash to have only one 
key/value pair...

Why not 114862, 100000?
