DBD::Sybase stored procedure question

[martymart]

Fellow Monks,

I'm using Sybase 11 on a linux box. my perl script is on a windows machine. And I'm using Sybase.pm version: 1.02 Revision: 1.47
Basically I have a stored procedure 'spSubComponentADD' which simply puts strings into 'SubComponentName' and 'SubComponentDescription'. 'SubComponentID' is an ID number thats created by the stored procedure, it simply starts at 1 and increments with each new row. I have a perl script that calls 'spSubComponentADD' and puts values into 'SubComponentName' and 'SubComponentDescription'.
My problem is with the returned value, its killing the script. How do I get around this?

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("exec spSubComponentADD \@SubComponentName = ?
+, \@SubComponentDescription = ?, \@SubComponentID = ? OUTPUT ");
$sth->execute($subcomponentname, $subcomponentdescription)
        or handle_error ("Can't execute SQL" . $sth->errstr(), $dbh, $
+sth);
my (@data) = $sth->func('syb_output_params');

I can get this thing to work by changing the stored proecdure so that it doesn't return a value, but I'm gonna have to get this working for loads of stored procedures, so this really isn't an option. I realise that this is probably a problem with the syntax I'm using. Any advice (or sample working code) would be greatly appreciated.
