Update: (uses named parameters - not supported in all DB's)

my $statement = "Insert into TABLE (name, date, type, federal, active)
+ values( :name, :date, :type, :federal, :active );

$sth = $dbh->prepare( $statement );

foreach my $name ( keys %holidays ) {
  $sth->bind_param( ':name', $name );
  $sth->bind_param( ':'.$_, $holidays->{$name}->{$_} ) foreach keys %{
+$holidays->{$name}};
  $sth->execute(); # check errors here too
