SQLite 'SELECT' Function	Can't Post

I've recently been playing with SQLite, and so far I can get this program to write to the database, but it can't read it right. I've done some Googling, and there've been no solutions so far.

This should be a fairly simple solution:

Code

sub dbread { 
     my $all = $db->selectall_arrayref("SELECT * FROM CHANNELS;"); 
     foreach (@$all) { print "$_\n"; }

The table channels would read like this:

Code

#chan1 
#chan2 
#chan3

and so on. It returns no errors, but won't return the channel name, instead it prints out:

Code

ARRAY(0x9092080) 
ARRAY(0x90920b0) 
ARRAY(0x90920e0)

$all is a reference to an AoA (array of arrays), which means that the value of each array element is a reference to another array.

Use Data::Dumper to output the data structure and from there you should see how to dereference it.

Code

use Data::Dumper; 
print Dumper $all;
