hi list,

im trying to write a perl srcipt that will connect to a mysql database 
server, do some queries and print the output on the screen (or maybe append 
the output to a file), that would look something like this.

+------+-------+----------+-------------+
| tnum | user  | cust     | area    |
+------+-------+----------+-------------+
|   22 | nivra | testing  | isdn      |
|   23 | nivra | testing1 | ddu      |
|   24 | nivra | testing1 | ddu      |
+------+-------+----------+-------------+

below is my perl script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

$dbname= "dbname";
$dbuser = "dbuser";
$dbpass = "dbpass";
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbport = "3306";
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$dbname;host=$dbhost;port=$dbport";

$condition = " where date >= '2001/01/27' and petsa <= '2001/01/31' and 
user = 'user'";

         # Connect to the database
         $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $dbuser, $dbpass);

         # if needed and execute the SELECT
         $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT tnum, user, type, area, stat FROM 
tickets$where ");
         $output = $sth->execute;

         # clean up & disconnect from the DB
         $sth->finish;
         $dbh->disconnect;
         print $output;

but it doesn't give me any output at all. i'd like to know if there is any 
special parameter to use with sth->execute to do this. did i miss anything 
here?

thanks for your time.
