A variable declared with local is actual a global. The only thing that is
different from a global is that Perl saves the value of the variable when
the local occurs and automaticly restores it at the end of the scape. So you
have to add a
use vars qw{%set @set $set} ;
to your source. Alternativly you can also use DBIx::Recordset with my (this
should be better mentioned in the docs; any wants to write a patch :-). In
this case you always have a reference:
sub foo {
my $set = DBIx::Recordset...
print $set -> {bar} ;
while ($rec = $$set -> Next) {
