Hello:

I thought I'd break up the usual "won't compile" question with:

Which of the following would be faster:

Evaluation for a pattern match in a 100 element array.

or

5 calls to the following code block:

$dbh->dbcmd("$select");
$dbh->dbsqlexec;
$dbh->dbresults;
while (($current_category, $current_category_id, $current_category_parent) = @data = $dbh->dbnextrow) {
	push(@blah_results, "
$current_category
");
	$count++;
	}

Your answer and any other comments are appreciated.

Regards,
