Hi All,

Can variables be used in place of column names when looping through DBIx::Class array of objects.
For example:


my @db_colnames = ('lastname','firstname','middlename');

my @rows = $schema->resultset( 'myTable' )->search({},
                                                      {order_by => [qw
+/ lastname firstname middlename /] }
);

foreach my $row (@rows) {
    foreach my $col (@db_colnames) {
       print $row->$col ."\t";
    }
    print "\n";
}

No value printed. However, when I used the actual column name to retrieve the data, it worked fine. For example:

.
.
print $row->lastname . "\t" . $row->firstname . "\t" . $row->middlenam
+e . "\t";
print "\n";
.
.

Thanks for your help.
