Keep in mind that it's not just your script that must be cached, if indeed that
did work. There's also Perl, the modules, and your data (if in CSV form).
If you want to test to see if it is just I/O, find out if your O/S supports
RAM-disk, copy all files involved there, and run a test. If your run time is
significantly reduced, it may indeed point to I/O issues...
