My first Perl program. I'm reading from a Db which contains the alarms for different power supplies (PS). How can I search Db for the alarm start (Warning) and stop (OK NOW) times and combine them into a table ordered by supply? 
#! /usr/local/bin/perl-w 
# A perl program to do read the notifAlarmTable

use FileHandle;
use IPC::Open2;
use Symbol;
# use Tk;
use Sybase::CTlib;
use Time::Local;
use strict;
my $dbAlarm=new Sybase::CTlib 'harmless','harmless','OPSYB1','';
$dbAlarm->ct_sql("use TomTest");

my $sql = "SELECT *  from notifAlarmEntry ORDER BY datetime" ;

my(@records) =  $dbAlarm->ct_sql($sql); 
my($record, $StartWarn, $StopOK);
foreach $record (@records) {

#build history record 4 each entry in notifAlarmEntry
#Fields:Sequence,UnixTime,DateTime,Source,Process,Category,Topic,Messa
+ge
#this is were I will look for WARNING and OK NOW MESSAGES
#to put in Table
#Category contains either WARNING or OK NOW
#Topic contains the PS Name

print "$record->[0], $record->[1], $record->[2], $record->[3], $record
+->[4], $record->[5], $record->[6], $record->[7]\n"
}
