G'Day. Seems I've lost my path to brain. Thought it was #!/usr/bin/brain -Tw

Dilemma ->
I'm querying a data base and I'm getting and expecting three rows of data. I'm trying to get the first row to be put in an array (@x). Then I want the second row in array y. And eventually I want the third row in array z.

$sth->execute() or die $sth->errstr; 

        my $row = 0;
        
        while (my @result = $sth->fetchrow_array()) { 

        last if $row++ >= 3;
        if ($row = 1){
        @x = @result;
        }
        if ($row = 2){
        @y = @result;
        }
        if ($row = 3){
        @z = @result;
        }                
        
        }         
        print qq(@x<br><br>);
        print qq(@y<br><br>);
        print qq(@z<br><br>);
        
     $sth->finish();

If I put the print statement inside the while loop, each array prints all three rows. If I print outside the while loop, it prints only the last row for each array.

The complete return looks like this:
@result =
row 1 - data1
row 2 - data2
row 3 - data3

I need to get it to do this:
@x = row 1 - data1
@y = row 2 - data2
@z = row 3 - data3

Any suggestions and/or help would be most appreciated.
