Hi Perl Monks,

I'm trying to get information that is stored in a DB along with the total number of rows.

My code is:

$sth->execute(user) or die $db->errstr;

$user_info = $sth->fetchall_arrayref();

foreach $info (@{client_info})
{
 $usr_info[0] = $info->[0];
 ... (to [6]) 
}

$num_rows = $sth->rows;

return (@usr_info, $num_rows);

[download]

I tried printing the contents of my array and the number of lines by doing:

print "Rows = ".$num_rows."\n";

foreach $info (@usr_info)
{
 print "Info = ".$info."\n";
}
/code>

<p>I got the following output:</p>

<code>
Row = 

Info = user A
... (to 6)
Info = 1

[download]

It appears i'm getting an extra value that doesn't exist in the database.

My question is: is this value the number of columns?

Please advice, thanks
