Hi monks, As we all know MySQL has evolved over years, from 3.x to 5.1.I want to execute statments depending on the version which is running on the server. Can you show me how can we do this. Like 
  
   3.x  Show variables;
   4.x  Show variables;
   5.0  Show global variables
   5.1+ Select * from information_schema.global_variables order by 1;

 sub var
     {
       my $sgv = $dbh->prepare("show variables");
     $sgv->execute();
  while (my ($keyword, $value) = $sgv->fetchrow_array()) 
     {
       $variables{$keyword} = $value;
     }
        $sgv->finish();
 }
