>From perldoc DBIx::Recordset...

       $set -> do ($statement, $attribs, \%params)
           Same as DBI. Executes a single SQL statement on the open
database.

I implemented the process via regular DBI, since I couldn't figure it out w/
DBIx.  I don't even think DBI->do would have done it for me, as I realized
that I needed data back.  Here's the script -

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

my $LOGS = 2;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database;host;port=3306", '', '');

my $sth = $dbh->prepare('show master logs');
$sth->execute();

my $row;
while ($row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref)
{
        push @logs, $row->[0];
}

my $log_amt = scalar(@logs);
print "$log_amt logs.\n";
if ($log_amt < $LOGS)
{
        print "Not enough logs to purge. Must keep $LOGS logs.\n";
        exit;
}
else
{
        my $purge_to = $log_amt - $LOGS;
        if (($log_amt - $purge_to) < $LOGS)
        {
                print "Not enough logs left after purge. Must keep $LOGS
logs.\n";
                exit;
        }
        print "purging to $logs[$purge_to]\n";
        $dbh->do("purge master logs to '$logs[$purge_to]'");
}

exit;

Someone implement that in DBIx::Recordset?

I don't see a DBIx::Recordset->do() call in the docs... where did you see
that?

perhaps you mean $dbh->do()

that is a pure DBI call. Recordset can return a DBI database handle to you

http://search.cpan.org/author/TBONE/DBIx-Recordset-Playground-1.12/Playgroun
d.pm

shows how to do this for Recordset API calls.
