From http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.53/DBI.pm:
You may often want to fetch an array of rows where each row is stored as a hash. That can be done simple using:
my $emps = $dbh->selectall_arrayref(
"SELECT ename FROM emp ORDER BY ename",
{ Slice => {} }
);
foreach my $emp ( @$emps ) {
print "Employee: $emp->{ename}\n";
}
So despite the name you get a reference to an array of hash references.
UPDATE: Have you tried looking at it using Data::Dumper? Should show the structure being a hash at the bottom.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
