I see you've collected your data into %school. Using that as your data source, you'll need something like the following.

Do these once:

use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);
my $sql_insert = q{
    insert into school_tbl 
    (location, name, type, address, description)
    values
    (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
};
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql_insert);

For each iteration through your data:

$sth->execute(@school{qw{location name type address description}});

[download]

And finally, do these once:

$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();

[download]

NOTE: This code is completely untested and includes no error checking.

All of the above methods are documented in DBI.
