I'm having some trouble dynamically declaring a number of arrays that are used to store the result set from a query. Below is a short example:
my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare($full_query); $sth1->execute(); # fetch the records while (@data = $sth1->fetchrow_array()) { push @field1, $data[0]; push @field2, $data[1]; push @field3, $data[2]; } $sth1->finish;
So I would like to have @field1, @field2, @field3 created dynamically based on the number of fields in my table. And then be able to populate each array in the while loop.
