Thanks, the hash reference gets pushed onto the list, and now exposes 
more of my ignorance.

Say I have three rows returned by my SQL query.  The while loop 
properly generates three hashes, and @servers grows to contain three 
elements, but each has the same hash reference, which ends up pointing 
to the last created hash.  How do I programatically generate a series 
of hash references?

tia.
