I am new to perl and need help with mysql. I have a table in mysql that has 3 rows. The fields are name,phone1,phone2. 
use DBI;

$dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=numbers;host=localhost";
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, 'user', 'password');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM numbers");
$sth->execute;

this is when I run into issues at What I want to be able to do is create a loop that goes though each row one at a time then give me an array with the field names. 
  while (my $ref = $sth->SOMETING HERE) {
  print "The name field " . $ref[name];  
  print "The phone1 field " . $ref[phone1];
  print "The phone2 field " . $ref[phone2];
  }

It would then repeat that for each row in the table. Can this be done? Mike
