I having been looking at this for a while and I can't figure out why its happening (I am still a newbie BTW!). Here is a snippet of the code. I am using strict params too.

The problem is that, near the end, in the while($query_handle->fetch()) part. If I print the the $get_file I get a list of each row as planned. However, if I push that string into the array and then print the array I get a really long list of duplicate entries! 

.......
my $dsn = "dbi:$platform:$database:$host:$port";
my $connect = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pw);

foreach my $k(@shows_array) {
    my($show_id,$title,$next_episode) = split(/\|/,$k);
        
my $query = "SELECT count(episode) from shows where episode = \"$next_
+episode\"";

my $query_handle = $connect->prepare($query);

$query_handle->execute();

$query_handle->bind_columns(\$episode); {
            if($episode eq "0") {
            $get_file = "$url$title"." "."$next_episode"."&catid=$cati
+d"."&num=".$num."&age="."$age"."&username=".$username."&".$apikey;
            #print "<br />".$get_file."<br />";
                        #THE PRINT ABOVE OUTPUTS FINE
            push(@nzb_list,$get_file);
            print @nzb_list;
            #THE PRINT ABOVE IS THE PROBLEM
                        };
            
   }
}

Can anyone see my mistake?
