Re: Re: Re: MySQL / Perl Question

I assume you're talking about this line:

my ( $count ) = $sth->fetchrow_array();

fetchrow_array() returns an array. If you assign it like:

my $count = $sth->fetchrow_array();

assuming the SQL that I gave as an example, $count will always equal 1, the scalar context of the array on the right hand side. The parans are there to keep the array context and are quite necessary in this case.
