I'm just getting to grips with perl and MySQL. The following snip of code *does* work, but when I print out $comp, $device, $model - it only prints out the record up until the first 'space'. ie 'THIS IS THE RECORD' prints as 'THIS' I believe the error may be in this part of the prog - can anyone help identify it - or is it likely to be in the MySQL syntax. Sorry to be vague - it's all new to me! 
sub_data{ 
$sql = "SELECT comp, device, model, uniq FROM p_company, p_devices, p_
+model WHERE p_model.uniq = '$model' AND p_model.comp_id = p_company.c
+omp_id AND p_model.device_id=p_devices.device_id";

my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$rv=$sth->execute;

while ($pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref){
    $comp  = $pointer->{'comp'};
    $device  = $pointer->{'device'}; 
    $model  = $pointer->{'model'};
    }
} # End sub
}

Many thanks, d.
