If possible, can you detail a little as to why you're using straight sql? api missing to do something in particular?

the error is that it's trying to deref an array but it got a string instead of a array ref eg:

my $string = "";

my @upcoming_error = @$string

Hello all! I’m having a funny one in relation to some customisations we’ve made to our EPrints installation. In particular I’m getting an empty sql query returned within the Perl which is causing the user page creation script to bail with this error: Can’t use (“”) as an ARRAY ref while “strict” refs in use. I shan’t go into specifics, but is there a recommended way of gracefully ignoring empty SQL returns?
