Nope, it's correct :) > Don't forget to turn on autoflushing with "$|=1", or for long queries > it will timeout. Thanks for the tip. I guess I will find information about it in man DBI? > Try using: > > die "Managed to get to the waypoint!"; > > to find out what code is actually getting run - there is better ways, > but this is a beginners list :) That is great advice :) The code again: #!/usr/bin/perl use Strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use DBI; my @arrangement; my $tabell = "Oslo_220602_Vika"; my $navn = "Tor Hildrum"; my $epost = "tor\@whatever.com"; my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=nuug;host=localhost", tor, password, {'RaiseError' => 1 }); my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select * from $tabell"); $sth->execute(); while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { push(@arrangement, $ref->{'epost'});} while (@arrangement) { ## HANGS chomp; ## HERE my $test = 1 if $_ eq $epost; ## HMM? :) } If we look at how @arrangement is created: while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { push(@arrangement, $ref->{'epost'});} I know this is correct, because I am using it in another sub in the same script(this script is just a sub that I made to be independent for troubleshooting). @arrangement = qw([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); That is how @arrangement should look like. And, I believe it looks like that. If I do: # $sth->execute(); # while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { # push(@arrangement, $ref->{'epost'});} @arrangement = qw([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); while (@arrangement) { chomp; my $test = 1 if $_ eq $epost; } die ("Hooray, didn't hang."); It still hangs on the while(@arrangement) loop. Any idea why this while loop doesn't want to quit? Tor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
