Hi Monks!
I am fetching a database but I want to use a "WHILE" loop instead of a "FOR" loop, how could I do this here, here is a sample code to demonstrate what I am trying to do:

my $sql = "select name,address,phone,email from my table where name='m
+ary'";
my $allnames= $dbh->exec_select( $sql ) or die "Couldn't execute state
+ment: $dbh->errstr";;


      
if(@$allnames)  { 

      for (my $i = 0; $i < @$allnames; $i++)  
       {


         my $allname = $allnames->[$i]{ 'name' } || '';
     my $alladdress = $allnames->[$i]{ 'address' } || '';
     my $allphone= $allnames->[$i]{ 'phone' } || '';
     my $allemail = $allnames->[$i]{ 'email' } || '';
        
          
         $AoH{ alldata } = $allname."&nbsp;".$alladdress."&nbsp;".$all
+phone ."&nbsp;".$allemail;  

}
