This is based on a working example....
use strict;
use DBI;
my $database='db';
my $username='user';
my $password='pass';
my $dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:database='.$database,$username,$passwo
+rd);
print 'dbh error' if (!$dbh);
my $sth=$dbh->prepare('SELECT *,
rand() as orderno
FROM table_name
ORDER BY orderno
LIMIT 1');
print 'sth error' if (!$sth);
my $rv=$sth->execute();
print 'rv error' if (!$rv);
my @rand_row = $sth->fetchrow_array();
$sth->finish();
print join(',',@rand_row),"\n";
print "finished\n";
Replace the database, username, password (or for non mysql remove LIMIT 1 and change DBI driver name).
Change table_name and you should change * to only the fields you need
