Hi, I'm somewhat new at perl and just started playing with DBI this morning. I'm having a problem when looping through a recordset and executing a SELECT within the while loop which depends on a value from the first. It appears that on every iteration rows are being appended to $sth, but I want to empty $sth on every iteration and get a fresh recordset.

ex: first iteration returns:
1 foo
2 bar

next iteration is appending to first:
1 foo
2 bar
3 musty
4 tshirt

the second iteration should just return:
3 musty
4 tshirt

I've included the while loop below, thanks for any help.

while ( my ($intMemberID,$txtUsername,$txtPassword,$txtName,$txtEmail,
+$txtBio) = $rsMembers->fetchrow_array) {
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT intSiteID,txtURL,txtTitle,txtDesc
+ription FROM Sites WHERE intMemberID = ? ORDER BY txtTitle" );
    $sth->execute($intMemberID);
    while ( my ($intSiteID,$txtURL,$txtTitle,$txtDescription) = $sth -
+>fetchrow_array) {
        $websites.= load_template("member_site_index.tmpl", {sid => $i
+ntSiteID, url => $txtURL, title => $txtTitle, description => $txtDesc
+ription});        
    }
    $sth ->finish;
}
