While Csongor Fagyal (I belive) is correct about current behavior, the DBI documentation explicitly says that this will break:
Currently, a new hash reference is returned for each row. This will change in the future to return the same hash ref each time, so don't rely on the current behaviour. Since you probably need to make a copy anyway, I wouldn't bother to worry about what DBI may or may not do after a connection is closed. Seems much safer to just assume that DBI owns the hash, and whatever you want needs to be copied out. - James Moore (sql,query,queries,smallint) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
