Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to do this with DBI. I have a few tables each containing different fieldnames and just one row of values. I'd like to write a sub which stores the column name and corresponding value in row, in a hash, in the order they are in. The I want to loop over the hash and retrieve the key/value pairs. How can I do this? I looked at at fetchrow_hashref and fetchrow_arrayref but the columns were not returned in order. Any help would be appreciated. Update: I found the answer 
sub print_stats 
  {
       my($table) = @_;

 my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM '.$table)
                or die "Couldn't prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr;
 $sth->execute             # Execute the query
            or die "Couldn't execute statement: " . $sth->errstr;

my $names = $sth->{NAME}; # or NAME_lc or NAME_uc
while( my $report_row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref() ) {
    for my $col_idx ( 0 .. $#{$names} ) {
        print "$names->[$col_idx]: $report_row->[$col_idx]\n";
    }
}

}
