You can make an inverted copy of your original 4 hash with reverse operator and then make a "normal" lookup 3 (would work properly only if values in original 2 hash are unique).

If you aren't using the %bugs hash for anything 3 else, just modify:

$bugs{$url} = $bug;

to:

$bugs{$bug} = $url;

Then you will have 2 a hash with the correct keys to your query 1 needs.
