Nested hash of hashes - Perl to Java

vit has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,
Nowdays many of us have to merge Java and Perl codes (I do it a lot) or reprogram Perl codes to Java.
One of Perl's beauties is nested hashes

$hash{key1}...{keyN} = val
[download]

which in Java is pretty clumsy. Could anybody share with me a good java method which fills out a HashMap of HashMap on N nested levels. Purely String version or same Obj version is OK for me.

Perlmonks used to have a Java board, http://web.archive.org/web/20071016160006/http://www.javajunkies.org/index.pl?node_id=395;.	[reply]

LOL interesting: =) Took me some searching to find references in the archive: JavaJunkies: Open For Business update but IMHO Perlmonks used to have a Java board isn't correct, rather others tried to use the board software for Java discussions.
