Using fetchrow_array is a bad idea anyway. Much better to use fetchrow_arrayref (aliased as fetch) or the even better bind_columns.

The performance of fetchrow_arrayref is much better than fetchrow_array, and bind_columns is even faster. This is discussed in Tim Bunce's presentation . Basically, the less copying you do the better it performs.
