[ale] brain damaged perl DBI

[James P. Kinney III]

This *&%*^ chunk of perl is not returning anything from the database. Is
there something stupid I have missed (The data is there. A psql query
return two lines which is correct. It does connect to the database as I
copied the connection params from another working area).

# connect to database
  my $dbh = $form->dbconnect($myconfig);
  my $id_start = $form->{id};
  my @clone_list;
  my %clone_test;
  push @clone_list, $id_start;
  $clone_test{$id_start} = 1;
  foreach my $id (@clone_list){
    my $query = qq|SELECT id 
       FROM assembly  
       WHERE parts_id = $id|;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
    $sth->execute || $form->dberror($query);
    my $ref;
    while ($ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref){
      my $cloneid = [ @$ref ];
      if ((! $clone_test{$cloneid}) && ($cloneid !~ $id_start)){
        push @clone_list, $cloneid;
        $clone_test{$cloneid}=1;
      }
    }
    $sth->finish;
  }
  $dbh->disconnect;
  open (OUT, ">/tmp/out.IC")||die "$!\n";
  my $line = join ', ', @clone_list;
  print OUT "clone_list = $line\n";
  close OUT;
  push @{ $form->{clone_list}}, @clone_list;


The file /tmp/out.IC gets only "clone_list = 0" ?!?!?!

I added prints to the while ($ref.....) block and got nothing. If I add
a die in the while block, it dies at that point. so I know it's running.
