I am trying to run me script in the background. I connect to a mysql db using: my $db = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pw,{'PrintError' => 1, 'RaiseError' => 1}) or die "Unable to connect: $DBI::errstr\n"; When i run the script (either in the background or manually) I receive this error:

DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_array failed: fetch() without execute() at has
+-download-0.1.pl line 82.
DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_array failed: fetch() without execute() at has
+-download-0.1.pl line 82.
[download]

Then the script fails and goes no further. The line that spawns the error:

#~ Update status to 2
            $query = "select status, dataid from radar_data where data
+type=$data_type and hasid ='$HAS_break[5]';";
            $query_handle = $db->prepare($query);
            $query_handle->execute();
            while(my @row = $query_handle->fetchrow_array()) {
[download]

is not the first execute. Prior to the error I prepare and execute another query that goes without error. Not sure what the problem is and am wondering if anyone has any ideas?

the entire scripts (with commented error location):
