Re: Unable to INSERT dereferenced values into db

First: Actually, you ARE returning an array. Lists are only transient things that exist in expressions. If you can take a reference to it, it's an array.

With that out of the way: That's not how you access array elements, and I think that'll give you a warning about single-element array slicing. There are two ways you can do your array:

$sth->execute( $ref->[0], $ref->[1], $ref->[2], $ref->[3]) ;

or slightly easier

$sth->execute( @$ref );

Try those.
