different databases have different ways of getting the last inserted
autonumber .. if you're using MSSQL it should be stored in the built-in
variable @@IDENTITY (that's an SQL variable - not a Perl array) .. so once
you've done your insert you should be able to immediately do a
SELECT @@IDENTITY AS 'Id'
and then grab it from the rowset of that command
