Don't believe you can do this then, you can either write a stored procedure
and then execute with DBI or programmatically check within you Perl code
while fetching.

Hello IIya,
I forgot one important thing the tables are in two different databases
(that
is why I have two connect statements). This is why I can't figure out
how to
write the prepare statement. If they were on the same database your
suggestions would work fine.
