That's not actually true, as far as I can tell. DBI docs are strangely
hard to find on the net, but I tend to use
http://www.he.net/info/mysql/dbi.html
or a more up-to-date copy thereof. (I'm linking to that one because I've
just found my bookmark to perldoc.com is broken.)
"This utility method combines prepare, execute and fetchrow_array into a
single call. If called in a list context it returns the first row of
data from the statement. If called in a scalar context it returns the
first field of the first row."
