Dear Monks,

I have a quick question regarding how to convert data from 2 db fields into scalars.

my $Cookie1 = $cgi->cookie('C1'); 
my $Cookie2 = $cgi->cookie('C2'); 
my ($f1, $f2); 
 
if (cookie('C2')) { # found a cookie! 
   my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT field_1, field_2 FROM tablename WHE
+RE field_3='?'") or "Error"; 
   $sth->execute(cookie('C2')) or "Error"; 
   if (my $rec = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) { 
      $Cookie2 = cookie('C2'); 
      $f1 = $rec->{field_1}; 
      $f2 = $rec->{field_2};

Or do I need to repeat this for each field: 

if (my $rec = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) { 
      $Cookie2 = cookie('C2'); 
      $f1 = $rec->{field_X};
