Thanks, I'll have a look at this also. Is this the recommended way then for what I am doing with the data.?
Gav... | Also, I would recommend you consider using placeholders for all values | passed to your prepare statement. | | eg. my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT email_address FROM users WHERE | email_address = ?') || die $dbh->errstr(); | $sth->execute($email) || die $dbh->errstr(); | | but looking at your query I think you would be better off doing: | | my $rec = $dbh->selectrow_hashref(<<EOS,{}, $email) || die | $dbh->errstr(); | SELECT email_address FROM email_address WHERE email_address = ? | EOS | | print $rec->{email_address},$/; | -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
