in reply to DBD::mysqlPP does not support TYPE and PRECISION statement handles?

You are missing one step.

From the manual:
For SELECT statements, execute simply "starts" the query within the database engine.

To actually get/iterate through the results, you need to do a "fetch" command like

my $rowref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref();
Update1: Ugh!. Misread the problem. Sorry.

Update2: Ok - so it looks like the underlying mysql driver does not support those attributes.
But you probably already knew that.

    Yep, and once again Komodo ran the wrong script and I thought I had it! It does that sometimes. Your "solution" did not work, but I switched from DBD::mysqlPP to DBD::mysql and this driver supports all those handles. Thanks at any rate!
