i'm using fetchrow_hashref to extract rows out of a database like
while(fetchrow_hashref) {print qq($data->{field1}\n);
-what is the best way, from within the while loop, to execute a query using the value of $data->{field1}?

i.e.,
while(fetchrow_hashref) { print qq($data->{field1}; # pseudocode to use $data->{field1} in another query, run query, anoth +er while(fetchrow_hashref) to print out the results of the second que +ry then... # end original while loop }
?
also, if anyone has dealt with this before, if the first while(fetchrow_hashref) returns identical values for $data->{field1} in subsequent iterations of the loop, know not to run the second query again on the same value for $data->{field1}?

thanks
