I have a small subroutine which fetch user details from Sybase DB. Please find my below subroutine.. Is there any way to return the query results from the subroutine straight away without using @uids array and $i variables. 

sub sa_details {
   $dbh=Sybase::DBlib->new("user", "passwd", "host");
   $dbh->dbcmd("SELECT userid FROM user");
   $dbh->dbsqlexec or die "Can't execute SQL statement:\n";
   while($dbh->dbresults!=NO_MORE_RESULTS){
        $i=0;
       while(@row=$dbh->dbnextrow){
           @uids[$i] = $row[0];
           $i++;
       }
       return @uids;
    }
    $dbh->dbclose
}

@array = sa_details();

Please help me to make this code efficiently(not lousy). Thanks... Bheeshmaraja
