Hey all, I am in a bit of spot where someone wants data that's in a mysql db. The script I am trying to cobble up needs to read a flat file with 2 columns of data Column1= and 11 digit number and Column2 = date number appears in the deletions file. Once the file gets read the script loops thru a query to the db, using the enteries in each line. Anyone have a sec to take a look and offer some help ? 
# This script reads a file and creates 2 variables with it by using a 
+hash.
# the data is in 2 columns. Column1=msisdn Column2=DeletionDate
# This script may be helpful if expanded to a loop and db query for fi
+guring
# last possible active date.
#
#  Sample of the file read by script
#  19992507638 deletions.20060723
#  19993017551 deletions.20060723

use DBI;
$database = "chai";
$hostname = "localhost";
$port = "3306";
$username = "bonezer";
$password = 'monezer';

$dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port";
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $username, $password) or die("Could not conn
+ect!");
$sql = "select to_days(substring($dday,11)) - to_days(lastactive)  fro
+m user where number = '$msdn' into OUTFILE '/tmp/sp'";

open DATA, "/tmp/SEOUL_NUMBERS";
my %hash;
while( <DATA> ) {

        @elements = split / /, $_;

        {
                $hash{ $elements[0] } = $elements[1];
                $hash{ $elements[1] } = $elements[1];
        $msdn="$elements[0]\n";
        $dday=$elements[1];



$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute;


}
}
$dbh->disconnect;
