Welcome!  I blame Tim for most of the awesome.

Well it's officially either Perl or perl (if you're speaking of the
interpreter) but we generally don't mind you calling it PERL for the
most part.  I've always been a fan of the backronym "Pathologically
Eclectic Rubbish Lister," which is, along with PERL, one of the
unofficial names.

remember that the map operator iterates over the list in the second
argument executing the code in the first argument for each element of
the list.  $_ is set to the value currently being iterated.

This means that you expect $stmt->column_defs() to return a list of
objects which have the method 'name' defined in their package.  

I don't see the example code you've given in the perldoc for
SQL::Statement.  Can you tell us where you got it and what you're trying
to do?

Yes, can you confirm that you've got a valid database handle and that
you can issue queries against it?

URL please?
