My problem is sth->rows always returns zero for a DELETE command inside a transaction. I'm using DBD::Pg 2.7.1. 
$dbh->begin_work;

foreach (@$bp_aref) {
$bind_parms = $_;
my $ra = $sth->execute(@$bind_parms);  # $ra is zero

# records are still in the db
# I need to keep a count of how many rows are going to be deleted, for
+ each delete statement

$count[$i] += $sth->rows;   # returns zero 
}

$dbh->commit unless $skip_trans;

# now records are not in db

How can I get a number of rows affected inside the transaction? Thanks.
