Oh, sorry. Maybe I misunderstood. Does the code actually work, and you want to know why it works?
$oldrow is the previous row. The function that builds the iterator stores the first row before it creates the iterator function:
sub dbi_query_iterator {
my ($sth, @params) = @_;
$sth->execute(@params) or return;
# get the first row of results NOW
my $row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref();
return Iterator {
my $action = shift() || 'nextval';
if ($action eq 'exhausted?') {
return ! defined $row;
} elsif ($action eq 'nextval') {
# save the current row of results
my $oldrow = $row;
# get the next row of results
$row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref;
# return the previous row (before we advanced)
return $oldrow->[0];
}
}
}

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).
