Can't use string ("1049") as a HASH ref

[JimJx]

Can anyone tell me why the following section of code produces the error "Can't use string ("1049") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Data/Pager.pm line 30."


Thanks,
Jim

my ($row, @results); 

# store each record into @results

while($row = $db_query->fetchrow_hashref()) {

        push(@results, $row);

}

You are trying to iterate a hashref which is incorrect.

The solution:

my @results = $db_query->fetchrow_array();

take a closer look at the error message:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Data/Pager.pm line 30

this error is coming from a module, and not the main script.
