Hi,

I have a DBI call which returns three colums as array references (oracle) $row->[0] etc. What i would like to do is keep the first value in $row->[0] matched up to the first value in $row->[1] and matched up to the first value in $row->[2], if that makes sense.

What i have so far is:

$sth_ideas->bind_param_inout(":l_proj",\$projects,0,{ora_type=>ORA_RSE
+T});
    $sth_ideas->execute;
    
    while ($row = $projects->fetchrow_arrayref){
        
        $id=$row->[0];
        $name=$row->[1];
        $perm=$row->[2];
        
    push @proj, $id,$name,$perm;
                
    }
    return \@proj;

Note this is returning an array reference from a subroutine.

Then in another class, i have:

my $count=0;
foreach my $e (@$aref){
$count++;
if ($count==4){
    $count=1; print "\n";
}

print $e,"\t";

}

which reads each group of 3 array ref element and prints then in a row (tab seperated). What i need is to be able to do the same thing, but also get at the id value for a particular row (which will be passed to another sub) from a GUI. I think i need a multidimensional array or some such construct, but cant get my head round it.

I hope this is clear enough and if anyone has any ideas - they will be appreciated.

thanks -- Joe.
