As dHarry says, you're probably best off having the database sort your results.

If you want to get every row, use a DBI method that does that. For example: 

$sth->execute( $line, $line ) or die ...;
my @all_rows = @{ $sth->fetchall_arrayref() };

At that point, every element in @all_rows is an array reference. The first row is $all_rows[0]. The first column of the first row is $all_rows[0][0].

If you want, you can get an array of hash refs instead. I find these more useful because you can refer to the fields by name. 

my @all_rows = @{ $sth->fetchall_arrayref( {} ) };

[download]

In that case, $all_rows[0] is still the first row, but it's a hash ref instead. Then you can do $all_rows[0]{srcaddr} for that field in that row.

If you want to output the whole structure, Data::Dumper is good for that, or see How can I visualize my complex data structure?.
