Hey monks, I could do with some real help. Before going any further, yes, I would prefer to be using DBI/dbd, but that's not the point. I need to submit a MySQL query, then take the result and declare it as a new variable. 
$mySQL->query(q{
        
        
    SELECT * from table ORDER by column desc LIMIT 1;
    
    
});


my $nextValue = $mySQL->create_record_iterator;
while (my $record = $nextValue->each) {
    printf "%d\n",
        $record->[0];
}

returns what I need to use as a variable, however it seems I can't just initiate from $nextvalue or $record. Can anyone come up with a clever work around?
