Ok I am pretty new to perl and have been working on my first website that has a database using class::dbi. My question is what is the most efficient way to step through a database printing everything on each row. I can write to the database easily enough. My primary key in the database is an int that auto increments. If any of you could point me to some explaination or code that demonstrates how to cleanly walk through a db it would be much appreciated.
Oh and I should say I have read the stuff on reading from a database on the tutorials page. All of my database access is through modules and where I am inputing and reading from the database is in a test script.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
