    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

    Hope this helps
