Thanks to all those who contributed to Hash Value, I now understand how to create and use a hash. However, and as always, I'm running into another situation. Here's the code: 
foreach $comp_id (keys %hash){
    
$sql = <<END_SQL;

select comp_name from company where comp_name = '$hash{$comp_id}'

END_SQL

$query = &execsql($sql);

if(!$data[0]){
    print "insert '$hash{$comp_id}' in table COMPANY\n";
}
    
while (@data = $query->fetchrow) {

    if($data[0]){
        print "insert $comp_id in table TYPES for $data[0]\n";
    }
   }
}

I want to first print all values that aren't in table COMPANY. Then I want to print all keys that match up to values that are in the table based on the hash key values.

Am I making progress?
