Thank you very much for that. The join() is very nice. I did not know about that one. These work from the mysql interface, but not from my perl program: 
SQL = "SELECT * FROM dbname WHERE unit = ? AND name1 REGEXP ? AND emai
+l REGEXP ? ORDER BY unit"

execute( 001, duckman, john@google.com )

Do I need to reformat the select statement? It simply won't give me an error/warning, and my $sth->fetchrow_hashref() doesn't give me any data to play with. :( There is a row in my db with appropriate data: 

mysql> select unit, name1, email from dbname;
+------+--------------------+---------------------+
| unit | name1              | email               |
+------+--------------------+---------------------+
| 001  | duckman industries | poorjohn@google.com |
+------+--------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
