Subject: Re: Dynamically create hash

I've no idea why you want this, but I think you want to have an array of 
hashes to iterate through.

like this:

hashes = []
for i in 0..9
   hashes[i] = {"key" => "val"}
end

so hashes contains
[{"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, 
{"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}, 
{"key"=>"val"}, {"key"=>"val"}]
