That is a wonderful idea Ian.  No I did not use strict this time.  I
will change my code to $sth->bind_columns.

I think this is a 'DBI best practices' niggling detail.

IIRC, this does a lot of copying, better to define the variables you
want ("define" meaning use "my" ... you do 'use strict', don't you?) and
bind the references with $sth->bind_columns(...). Particularly if you
iterating over a big assed cursor.
