I use only one sub to run simple SQL:
sub runSQL {
my $sql = shift;
if ($sql =~ /^select/i) {
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
if (!$sth) {
die "Error:" . $dbh->errstr . " :: $sql\n";
}
if (!$sth->execute) {
die "Error:" . $sth->errstr . " :: $sql\n";
}
my @ret;
while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
push @ret, $ref;
}
$sth->finish();
return \@ret;
}
elsif ($sql =~ /^(insert|update|delete)/i) {
if (!($dbh->do($sql))) {
die "Error:" . $dbh->errstr . " :::: $sql\n";
}
}
}
and I get a reference to an array of hashes that holds values of SELECTS..
He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
