In that case you'd want to do something like this:
%hash{"Client_ID"} = $dataRow;
This will store the value of $dataRow into %hash, with the index (key) being the string "Client_ID".
I highly recommend getting Data::Dumper from CPAN so you can dump your data structure to a scalar and print it. It makes it very easy to see when you've done something wrong, and for being new to hashes, I think it's a great tool. I use it all the time. | [reply]
