Here is my current code 
while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) {
    foreach ($row){
    if (! ref($row)) {
        next;
    }
        print @$row, "\n";
}
}

The if (! ref($row)){next;} does not work. It prints out two references:DBI::db=hash(0xwhatever) and DBI::st=hash(0xwhatever)and then the information that I want.

That is the secondary question and is probably cranial-rectal insertion on my part.

My primary question is: Can I use fetchall_arrayref to return all of the rows that match my query, and then parse out the information? And if so, how?

I have a query like 

"select program, day, time 
from TVviewingsked 
where name = "Frank"

I would like to have all the info in computer memory to avoid tying up the database with a fetchrow_arrayref because from what I read the DBI information says that fetchall_arrayref returns an array of array references, one reference per row.

Am I even on the right track here?
