Thanks for the reply. Below are the code. My SQL statement is in the form of "select name, address, age from table". But the actual statement is simply a much longer form i.e. it has 28 columns. I tried removing the "udef" without any success. I did run execute before bindings. Btw, I also uses "$sqlexe->{NAME}$i" to get the column name and I can see that it's sequence is not the same as that of the SQL statement. iPhony 
my $dbh = DBI->connect ( "dbi:Oracle:host=$ip;sid=$sd;port=1521", $id,
+ $pw, {RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0} );
$dbh->{LongTruncOk} = 1;

my $sqlexe = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
$sqlexe->execute();

$sqlexe->bind_columns ( undef, \$tempdata[0], \$tempdata[1], \$tempdat
+a[2], \$tempdata[3], \$tempdata[4] );
while ( $sqlexe->fetch() ) {
    push @{@data}, [ $tempdata[0], $tempdata[1], $tempdata[2], $tempda
+ta[3], $tempdata[4] ];
}
$sqlexe->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
