David, You don't have a response set at execute. You have a reference to a responce set. You need to use DBI methods to access the results. Try this...
============================ $response->execute(); my $hash = {}; while (my $rows = $response->fetchrow_hashref){ $hash->{$rows->{task_ID}} = $rows; } $response->finish(); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $response; ============================ --- Greenhalgh David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a script which mostly works, but when I get > to the part with > hashes, it stops.
