A newbie to PERL DBI. I have successfully been able to work with MySQL DB's. But having quite a bit of problem getting a query to execute via my PERL DBI script. The return value comes up as zero all the time. It does not give any error during connection. So, not able to figure out why it is coming back with 0. Please help!! here is a snippet of my code. 
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:host=$host;port=$port;sid=$sid",$us
+er, $password, {PrintError=>1,RaiseError=>1}) or die "Can't connect t
+o ORACLE database:$DBI::errstr\n";

my $subj_code_query = qq{SELECT * FROM LOOKUP};
my $sth_subj = $dbh->prepare($subj_code_query);

---A function--- 
sub execute_subject_query()
{
    open(SWRT, ">SUBJECT_CODES_FOR_XML.txt");
    my $rv = $sth_subj->execute();
    if($rv == 0)
    {
        print "No Value Returned\n"; 
    }
    else
    {
print "subject_id\tsubject_sex\tsubject_type\n";
        while( my $array_ref = $sth_subj->fetchrow_arrayref)
        {
            for(my $i=0; $i<@$array_ref;$i++)
            {
                print "$array_ref->[$i]\n";<STDIN>;
                print SWRT "$array_ref->[$i]\n";
            }
        }
    }
    $sth_subj->finish();
    close SWRT;
}
