Hello Esteemed Colleagues,

What I want to do is,

Retrieve data from a database.
put this into @currentpoll
Currentpoll returns the following array

idfieldcontentdate
11currentpollTest Poll2006-03-23

There is other data in this table, however i retrieve doing the following search 

my @currentpoll = LSRfm::Database::Data->search(field => 'currentpoll'
+);

Hence there is only one row.

Now I want to put the content column into a "memory box" called @search, so in this case @seacrh would be Test Poll,
now i want to take @search and use its value to search a different database in a similar fashion to; 

my @pollresults = LSRfm::Database::PollResults->search(field => @searc
+h);

[download]

Hopefully that should have cleared up the questions from How to access an Array Element

The idea with this being I can change the currentpoll Content value, without having to alter the perl script.

Yours
