If you are getting ARRAY(0xwhatever) that means you are *now* using Perl5.

Are you using $db->sql or $db->r_sql ? In Perl5/Sybperl2.0 

sub sql {   } would return the result array. 

sub r_sql {  } would returns an array of references to row data.

For more details please look at DBlib.pm.

Hope this helps.
