Hi everyone, I have the following script: 
my ($query) = our $connect->prepare("SELECT number, name FROM TableNam
+e");
  $query->execute();
  my $data = $query->fetchall_arrayref();
  $query->finish;


  foreach $data ( @$data) {

    my %row_data;  # get a fresh hash for the row data

    my ($variable1, $variable2) = @$data;

    $row_data{number} = "$variable1";
    $row_data{name} = "$variable2";
    }
    push(@loop_data, \%row_data);
  }

Not the most efficient way of doing this but achieves what I want. I would like to be able to do a similar thing, but for an unknown number of columns in the SQL Table. So: 
my ($query) = our $connect->prepare("SELECT * FROM TableName");
  $query->execute();
  my $data = $query->fetchall_arrayref();
  $query->finish;

  foreach $data ( @$data) {

    my %row_data;  # get a fresh hash for the row data

foreach my $data_item (@$data) {

    $row_data{NAMEOFSQLCOLUMN} = "$data_item"; # How do I get the name
+ of the SQL column that the data_item belong to?

    }

    }
    push(@loop_data, \%row_data);
  }

Any help would be very much appreciated!
