So last time I asked this question all I got was commits on how my perl code was not “proper” (although I thought one of the nice things about perl was I could write it how it looked best to me and it still work). So this time around I am hoping to get help with my problem and not just a bunch of people telling me to change the way I program.
Here is the problem. I have a small script that connects to a MS SQL database, runs a view, and displays the result. When I run the view in the SQL management studio a valid result is always shown and when looking directly at the data in table the view pulls from there is no blank rows. But when the view is called via the perl script a blank row will sometimes be pulled. So can anyone look at my code and tell me what in it would be causing a blank row to be pulls.
SQL Code: select top 1 Quote, CharacterName, GameTiel from dbo.GameQuotes order by newid()
Perl Code: 
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI::Carp qq~fatalsToBrowser~;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my ($DBH, $STH, @Quote, $Statement);
$Statement = qq~select Quote, CharacterName, GameTitle from Finaldbo.R
+andomQuote~;
$DBH = DBI -> connect('dbi:ODBC:SQLServer', '', '') or die "$DBI::errs
+tr";
@Quote = $DBH -> selectrow_array($Statement);
print qq~$Quote[0]
<br />--$Quote[1]
<br />$Quote[2]~;
$DBH -> disconnect;
