Just as a side-note, to make this a little easier (yes, I'm lazy), you can have Sybase return a hash keyed on column name for you - using my %hash = $dbh -> dbnextrow(1);

This means that with Ovid's code above as a basis you can do something like

my @results;
while (my %data = $dbh -> dbnextrow(1)) {
  push @results => \%data; 
}

I should point out that I haven't tested that (at least specifically here), though. Of course, if your're not using the DB column names as your hash keys, it'll all go pear-shaped ..

Just out of interest, as I said.
