You are very close on this one - I think you will find that it is the selectcol_arrayref method detailed in the DBI documentation that you require. eg.

my $arrayref = $dbh->selectcol_arrayref(qq/
    SELECT  $myColumn
    FROM    $myTable
/);
my @array = @{$arrayref};

Note that the returned data structure is an array reference rather than an array, hence the second line to dereference the data structure. If you are not familiar with this terminology, you can read up on references in perlref.

 

perl -e 's&&rob@cowsnet.com.au&&&split/[@.]/&&s&.com.&_&&&print'
