Looks like exactly what I'm trying to do. The problem is, I'm having trouble adapting it. To be honest, I'm trying to follow what the commands are doing. It appears if I create the file it's trying to manipulate and run it as is, I just get errors. If possible, could you do a play by play? The POD starts making sense, then in their example I see this:

  $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT foo, bar FROM table WHERE baz=?");

  $sth->execute( $baz );

  while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
    print "@row\n";
  }

*puts on dunce cap* Where did $baz come from? Was it being assigned in the previous line after the WHERE statement?

**I should mention that I'm looking at the DBI example you gave, although that was probably already obvious.**

Thanks again!
