Dear Dan,
I don't know if I understood what you really want. Therefore I will try to help, ok.
I use Postgres as Database.
You can find out how many rows have in a table after you run a SQL like this.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Pg;
$db = Pg::connectdb("dbname=database");
# This is a way to do it.
$result = $db->exec("SELECT * FROM table;");
$number_of_row = $result->ntuples;
print $number_of_row;
# This is another way to do it.
$result = $db->exec("SELECT count(*) FROM table;");
$number_of_row = $result->getvalue(0, 0);
print $number_of_row;
Best regards,
