I'm writing some database code that involves modules, but I'm having a strange issue.

Inside my module(Main.pm), I have this piece of code: 
my $dbh;
sub new {
    $dbh = @_;
}

Which is ideally supposed to take the database connection passed to it, so that the module can use it. However, I'm having some issues. Inside my main script, I do this: 
# $dbname, $uname, $pword have already been filled in.
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dbname:localhost","$uname","$pword"
+);

[download]

and then later on, 
Main::new($dbh);

[download]

However, I'm getting an error for Main.pm, which is 
Can't locate object method "selectrow_array" via package "Main" at Mai
+n.pm line ***.

Anyone have any ideas?
