in reply to array references in DBI

I just read the Adv Perl Prog 1st edition and so am trying to use references more. Conceptually it seems straight-forward, but in practice can be a little tricky. So in the same vain, I'm wondering why I can't seem to do:

$temp = pop @$arrayref

?

    It works as expected on my computer (Activestate Perl 5.8.7)
    # perl v5.8.7 [MSWin32-x86-multi-thread] > my @array= qw/een twee drie vier/; > my $arrayref = \@array; > print $arrayref; ARRAY(0x2089584) > pop @$arrayref; vier > my $temp = pop @$arrayref; > print $temp; drie

      Sorry, I should have been much more specific, as it's probably also my confusion as to how DBI works. If I do something like:

      my $ratest = $dbh->selectrow_arrayref($sql); my $testorder = pop @$ratest;

      I get an error: Modification of a read-only value attempted

        Did selectrow_arrayref() actually return an array ref? If the $sql failed, $ratest will be 0 (a literal).
