Gentlemen, I'm not new with DBI by any means, but I am having the most terrible time finding what is wrong with this code.

These are the declarations of the queries. It goes to a MySQL database.

sub recursive_print_traversal { $parent = shift; # the parent $addr = "select * from address_tbl where Subnet='$parent'"; $subs = "select * from subnet_tbl where VLAN='$parent'"; $addr_str = $dbh->prepare($addr); # prepare address sele +ct $subs_str = $dbh->prepare($subs); # prepare subnet selec +t $addr_rst = $addr_str->execute(); # execute address sele +ct $subs_rst = $subs_str->execute(); # execute subnet selec +t

Later I attempt to use the MySQL queries, like so.

if ( $subs_rst == 0){ print "<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>None.</td></tr>" +; print "</table></td></tr>"; } else { while ( @row = $subs_rst->fetchrow_array ) { >> recursive_print_traversal($row[0]); } }

However, it yields the following error.

Can't call method "fetchrow_array" without a package or object referen +ce at /var/www/cgi-bin/report.cgi line 127.

The line is question is mark with ">>" above.
