I had to put this off to the side for a bit, and just got back into it. Here is what I am trying to get work: 
my @names          = @{ $sth->{NAME_uc} };
    my @ordered_values = ();
    while ( my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
        @ordered_values = @{$row}{@names};
    }
    print Dumper(\@names);
    print Dumper(\@ordered_values);
        my $cgi = CGI->new;
    print $cgi->header('text/xml');
    my $testxml =
      XMLout( \@ordered_values, NoAttr => 1, RootName => 'dataset', );
    print $testxml;

And here is the response from the Dumper: 
$VAR1 = [
          'NPA',
          'GC_ID',
          'I_TG_NAME',
          'E_TG_NAME',
          'DN',
          'STATE'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          undef,
          'AAAABUcKyqQhEAABI34stA.4515613',
          undef,
          undef,
          undef,
          undef
        ];

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1

So @names is correct, but in the @ordered_values, I am getting a bunch of blank fields (checked if it was a query problem, it's not), and that gibberish line is actually data(the GC_ID field). Can you see what's wrong with the push I am doing? The XML::Simple function seems to want a hash of the data so it can put the key in the element tag, and the hash value inside the tags? <edit> Empty data was cause of the NAME_uc. Changed to NAME and it plugged in data, but everything still is ANON. Update This while loop also seems to overwrite the data in the @ordered_values array as when I print using XMLout (XML::Simple), there is only one XML entry.
