1) fetchrow_arrayref is faster than fetchrow_array, as Alex has noted. 2) I see you've already set RowCacheSize. Anecdotal evidence ( not just mine) suggests that the diminished returns obtained by setting this >100 aren't worth it.
3) try selectall_arrayref if you're data is not really large. 'really large' depends on your environment. 4) join DBI users list, found at lists.perl.org.
