You get that error because there is a problem with your execute statement. It doesn't complete and then fetch without a proper execute causes your program to die. Changing

my $rc = $sth->execute('OH');

To:

$sth->execute('OH') or die $sth->errstr;

Should give you the error. I would venture to guess its in your original statement. BTW I don't believe capturing the output from the execute statement is particularly useful. I've never seen that used

Hope that helps

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
