In what way?

You can't do that. execute is part of the DBI package, so you can't
just call it as if it were declared in your own program. The way I said
is the standard way to do it, so what goes wrong with that?

From "man 3 DBI":
The typical method call sequence for a "SELECT" statement is:
prepare,
execute, fetch, fetch, ...
execute, fetch, fetch, ...
execute, fetch, fetch, ...
for example:
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT foo, bar FROM table WHERE baz=?");
$sth->execute( $baz );
while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
print "@row\n";
}
