Nested data structures [message #89916]

I am trying to build a data structure that will allow me to specify a person by his State, city, street and street. (This is not my actual need, but it is analogous.) Thus I might specify (as metacode)

['Colorado']['Boulder']['Pearl'][9990] = 'John'

I assume this can be done with nested hashes or dictionaries, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to start. I started writing something like

person = [hash('colorado',['boulder','Denver'], hash('Arizona',[Tuscon','Phoenix'])

but I get lost in making the nesting clear. thanks for any help. --Wayne
