-1 returned from fetchall_arrayraf

Hi all, below is my PERL script
Code:
$ids = $dbh->prepare ("select * from tableA");
$ids->execute();
$names = $ids->fetchall_arrayref([0]);
print " Total valid ids is $#names \n";

Table only has 1 column, approx 400 rows

the value of $#names is -1. Would anyone point out what could have caused the error?
