in thread DBI fetchall_arrayref using $max_size doesn't dereference normally.

gmax,

The code is currently at work, thank you. I'm sure there is an even better way than the way I modified the code per your suggestion since I don't understand all of what is happening or why.

If you or someone else could unpack the while statement it could be greatly appreciated.

    The docs say that when there are no more rows, fetchall_arrayref returns a reference to an empty array. That would imply your while loop would never terminate (a reference is always true, even if it's a reference to an empty array). gmax's suggested code above fixes that.
