Hi Monks

I'm having a very hard time trying to get some results from a sql statement using WriteExcel module into a Hash.

The results from my sql statement yield 2 columns: Client is column 1 and Month followed by total orders for that month as column 2

for example,

Client|Counts by Month

IBM | February 1 March 5 July 4

Oracle| January 3 March 4 April 6 May 5

RedHat | March 2 June 3 August 1

The first result would be in @row so @row[0] would be equal to IBM and @row1 would be equal to 'February 1 March 5 July 4'.

Somehow I need to split the values of @row1 into a hash so the Key->value pair would be February->1, March->5, July->4, but that is where I'm getting stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
