Dear perl monks, I have a questions which might be easy, but I am really stuck. I have the following script"

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;
use strict; use warnings;
use CGI;



my $fields;
my $q= CGI->new();




# Connect to the database

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:mirnas', 'root', 'pass')
    or die "Couldn't open database: $DBI::errstr; stopped";
    
my $filename = $ARGV[0];
my $table_name = $ARGV[1];
open(INPUT, $filename);

#getting the column names from the text file
my $line = <INPUT>;

    chomp($line);
    my @fields = split('\t', $line);
    
    foreach $fields(@fields){
        print "$fields\n";

    }
    
$sth = $dbh->prepare("create table $tablename );
        $sth->execute;

What I want to do is to create a table where all the columnn names will be the ones stored in fields. I was thinking of using a loop structure where foreach $field it would add a column, but I am not sure if this is thebest way to do that. any suggestions would be really usefull, thank you in advance
