I would like to pass a multi-level hash (which is, of course, better than multi-level marketing) to an insert statement to get some data into a Pg database.

The table is:

name    date    type    federal    active

The hash looks like:

my %holidays = (
    "New Years Day" => {
        date    => '20050101',
        type    => 'US',
        federal => 'true',
        active  => 'true',
    },
    "Martin Luther King Day" => {
        date    => '20050119',
        type    => 'US',
        federal => 'true',
        active  => 'true',
    },
    "Groundhog Day" => {
        date    => '20050202',
        type    => 'US',
        federal => 'false',
        active  => 'false',
    },
);

I can do simple inserts but I haven't tried anything like this before. How would I code the "insert" statement?

Humbly submitted,

Robert
