Hello Monks

I am having a brain melt at the moment and I can't seem to figure out why this isn't working.
The code is simple, it connects to a DB and queries it return the results to an array called @row. If I print this array within the loop each results is outputted as expected. However, if I tried and push each iteration of the array into another array the results are unexpected. The code is below -> be nice! 


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;
my @result;
my @row;

my $dsn = 'DBI:Sybase:server=host.db.local';

my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, "sa", 'password');
die "unable to connect to server $DBI::errstr" unless $dbh;

$dbh->do("use mydatabasename");

my $query = "select c.uniq,c.ticketid,c.tickettitle,c.assignedto1,c.st
+atus,c.area,c.a_email1,
c.email
from
csCustIncident c, csIncident_lineitems l
where c.uniq = l.incident_uniq
and
c.compdate > (select DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,getdate()), 0))
and c.ticketid not in (select ticketid from email_ticket)
";

my $sth = $dbh->prepare ($query) or die "prepare failed\n";
$sth->execute( ) or die "unable to execute query $query   error $DBI::
+errstr";

while (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array())
    {
        # This line prints the list @row to screen fine
        print "@row\n";

        # But if I try and push the @row list into the @result list I 
+get strange results
        push (@result,\@row);

}

I am expecting to end up with a list called @result which will contain array references for each iteration of the @row array in the loop. That isn't happening!

I'm guessing the @result arary is being reset on each iteration but I can't figure out how to fill it and have a full list at the end?
