I am having trouble even asking this : ) I have two tables which look like this:

Table1:
act1 | act2 | act3 | act4
_________________________
1,2  | 3,2  | 6    | 2,8

Table2:
id | name
_________
1  | foo
2  | bar
3  | this
6  | that
8  | hey

i want to grab the into from table1, resolve each member of the list and get the name assoc. with it, and then print out the info like:

1 : act1
2 : act1, act2, act4
3 : act2
6 : act3
8 : act4

I tried and failed four times, I keep getting a bunch of ARRAY(XXXXXX) stuff and I am clueless as to why here is the code i tried:

$req_cert_info->execute("$TRANS_ID")
or dienice("344 Couldn't execute statement $TRANS_ID : " . $get_info->
+errstr);

my %seen;

while ( my $ref = $req_cert_info->fetchrow_hashref ) {
    foreach my $key ( keys %$ref ) {
        next if ( $key eq "TRANS_ID" );
        if ( $ref->{$key} ) {
            my @prod_ids = split ",", $ref->{$key};
            foreach my $prodid ( @prod_ids ) {
                my $prod;
                
                if ( exists $seen{$prodid} ) {
                    $prod = $seen{$prodid};
                } else {
                    my $prod = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT PRODUCT F
+ROM SC_PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT_ID = $prodid");
                    push @{$seen{$prodid}}, $prod;
                }
                push @{$services{$prod}}, $key;
            }
        }
    }
}

$req_cert_info->finish;

foreach my $product ( keys %services ) {
    print "<TR><TD>@{$product}</TD><TD>@{$services{$product}}</TD><TD>
+checkbox</TD></TR>";
}

I hope this is clear enough - I think part of the problem is I am so unclear on it myself. I thank anymonk who can help : )

-- I'm a solipsist, and so is everyone else. (think about it)
