You are correct... try fetchrow_arrayref and you should get what you
are expecting

I've got a query in my perl code to pull 2 fields from a database
(abbreviation, factory_id), one of which is used to populate a dropdown
box (abbreviation). However, I will need to pass /both/ fields to the
CGI script that I'm calling from the form that has the dropdown box. How
do I do that? Here's what I have so far:
shift_rpt.pl:
my $sql = qq/SELECT factory_id, abbreviation from factory/;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute();
my $row_factory;
my @rows_factory;
while ($row_factory = $sth->fetchrow_array)
{
push @rows_factory, $row_factory; # This moves each row into the array
@rows
}
$sth->finish();
I've had a couple of good suggestions on how to handle this, but I'm
obviously missing something. In the WHILE loop above, I'm not getting
both fields from the query. I.e. I'm getting the last element of the
query (abbrev) pushed into the array @rows_factory but not the
factory_id. I'm guessing it's due to the fact that I'm fetching the
row into a scalar ($row_factory) and not an array. Correct?
I just can't seem to get the logic of this straight in my head. Maybe
I'm over-complicating things because of the toolkit. Seems to me like
the toolkit is sitting there complicating my thought process when it
really shouldn't.
