hello kind monks:

I have a bit of code that needs retrieve an integer from the results a Postgresql function. I am having difficulty getting at the integer returned. How am I supposed to get at the value returned?

many thanks for you attention to this matter.

    $sqlStr =  "select createwbparserun( '$directory' , '$filename'  )
+ ";
    print $sqlStr.  "\n" ;
    my $sth = $db_in->prepare( $sqlStr );
    $sth->execute();
    
    my @aRow = $sth->fetchall_arrayref([0]);
    print Dumper @aRow;
    my @ta = $aRow[0];
    print Dumper @ta;
    print " the array: " . $ta[0][0]  . "\n" ;
    ## $wb_runkey = $aRow[0];
    
    print "WORKBOOK run key: " . $wb_runkey . "\n" ;

which returns the following: 
select createwbparserun( 'C:/dev/HN_optimum/' , 'FM Mk 14 - 60M200007_
+DB200609.xls'  )
$VAR1 = [
          [
            '45'
          ]
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          [
            '45'
          ]
        ];
 the array: ARRAY(0xcec7960)
WORKBOOK run key: 0
