Re: array references in DBI

I just read the Adv Perl Prog 1st edition and so am trying to use references more. Conceptually it seems straight-forward, but in practice can be a little tricky. So in the same vain, I'm wondering why I can't seem to do:

$temp = pop @$arrayref

It works as expected on my computer (Activestate Perl 5.8.7) `# perl v5.8.7 [MSWin32-x86-multi-thread] > my @array= qw/een twee drie vier/; > my $arrayref = \@array; > print $arrayref; ARRAY(0x2089584) > pop @$arrayref; vier > my $temp = pop @$arrayref; > print $temp; drie` [download] CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry, I should have been much more specific, as it's probably also my confusion as to how DBI works. If I do something like: `my $ratest = $dbh->selectrow_arrayref($sql); my $testorder = pop @$ratest;` [download] I get an error: Modification of a read-only value attempted	[reply] [d/l]

Did selectrow_arrayref() actually return an array ref? If the $sql failed, $ratest will be 0 (a literal).	[reply]
