Here's a softball: I'm trying to place the results of a SQL Select statement into an array. In this case, the Select returns only one column. When I run the script, I get this error: 
Can't locate object method "selectcol_arrayref" via package "DBI::st" 
+at C:\temp\test.pl line 29 (#1)
    (F) You called a method correctly, and it correctly indicated a pa
+ckage functioning as a class, but that package doesn't define that pa
+rticular method, nor does any of its base classes.  See perlobj.

Here is the offending line: 
@EasySetTableNames = @{$sqlCmd->selectcol_arrayref($sqlStatement)};

And the related code (with the offending line at the end): 
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use DBI;
#use replace;
use File::Glob ':glob';

my $DBName                         = "dbi:ODBC:Insight";

$sqlCmd = $dbh->prepare($sqlStatement);
$sqlCmd->execute();
@EasySetTableNames = @{$sqlCmd->selectcol_arrayref($sqlStatement)};

Also, I seem to have a logical brain fart concerning how Perl handles hashes, arrays and strings. Can anyone point me to a good source.
Do you believe in miracles? Yes!
