Error perl odbc... need desperate help!

Hey guys:

Can anyone show me , how I can update mulitple fields in a database (sample Informix) using Win32::ODBC ?

I'm creating a script that accepts an array as the value and then inserts these values into all the table fields in a particular database...


Thanks for anyone who can reply....

i connect to a informix db but i dont use odbc.
this is an old script but it still works. in order to send stuff to the db i believe you just have the change the sql. if you read the documentation on your perl drivers it should list all the methods to use, so it would mention if any are used to send data to the db.

Code:
		my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Informix:standard@db_name', 'user', 'password', {
			PrintError=>1,
			RaiseError=>1 });

		$sth = $dbh->prepare("
			SELECT prod_code, lot_code, actual_qty
			FROM wattrn
			WHERE doc_code = ? ");	# get all of my needed information from the DB
		$sth->execute($doc_code);

		while ( $array_ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref ) { 	#feed the return results to an array
			push @jackpot, [ @$array_ref ];
		}
		$dbh->disconnect();
