Hi, i need help with iteration over the database. first i would like to set up an array of things for which I would like to search my database for, than i would like to change every data that i found in the database with a data defined in the second array example: 
 use strict;
use DBI;


my $driver = "mysql";
my $dns = "database=baxy";
my $username = "baxy";
my $password  = "";

my $dbh = DBI -> connect ("dbi:$driver:$dns", $username, $password, {A
+utoCommit => 1});

my $titula = [qw(ing dipl. dipl.ing. dr phd)];
my $wage = [qw(10 20 30 50 200)];

my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("update Staff set wage = @$wage where positio
+n = ?") or die "$DBI::errstr";
foreach my $x (@$titula) {
$sth -> execute($x)|| die "$DBI::errstr";
}
$sth -> dump_results();

this obviously doesn't work. but the thing is that each data in the @titula that was found in the database i would like to change and associate with data in the @wage any advice would be helpful. thank you, robert
