I'm reading the book Programming the Perl DBI to start work with databases. The DBI portion I'm getting OK, but I find the reference here to @$ confusing. (This code is based from the book.)
my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare("select 'SCM_ORDERS_OUT', message_index, message_no, message_event, time_stamp, data from log"); $sth1->execute(); my @stash; while ($array_ref = $sth1->fetchrow_arrayref) { push @stash, [ @$array_ref ]; ##copy array contents } ###dump stash contents foreach $array_ref ( @stash ) { print "Row: @$array_ref\n"; } The rows print out fine, so it "works", but I don't understand how. I need to be able to work with specific items in the output, such as the column "data". How would I reference it, using this example?
