SPUG:using DBI::fetchrow_array(); to load another array

[Dan Ebert]

One note I'd add to this:

The hash keys are case sensitive, so you have to pay attention to the
case of the field labels ... or do a 'select Blah as blah' in your
query.  This has tripped me up a couple times where one field name was
all caps when the rest of the table's fields were lower.
