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?
