assuming your holidays are a HoH called %Holidays,
you'd use five placeholders and call
execute ($HolidayName, @{$Holidays{$HolidayName}}{qw/date type
federal active/});
if you don't mind saving a wee bit of programmer time and spending
more hardware effort
you might be able to use Tie::DBI to allow something like
$HolidayDatabase{$HolidayName} = $Holidays{$HolidayName};
provided the key names (and the boolean representations) match.
