Note from the Interchange-users guidelines:

http://developer2.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg06658.html

  -- Contextual quoting is preferred, i.e.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):
                 > Some limited text that will give context.

                 Your reply.

     versus

                 Your reply, lazily put at the top.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):

         In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread
         the moment this lazy quoting method is used. He figures that
         if you can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
         minutes of the readers time, the heck with ya.

(PS, watch how Linus posts to linux kernel mailing list using the above method)

Good, now that the little quoting matter is out of the way, here is what I 
meant (which is useful for anyone doing perl devel):

Copy the code from between [perl][/perl] into a file, then run

$ perl filename

And watch the output.  Of course you will have to remove IC'isms, which is 
what I meant by replacing:

[sql]....[/sql] with just your expected results "8,3,5,6".  That way you 
can be sure that your code works, and then begin trouble shooting the [sql] 
interchange stuff, back within the [perl] blocks.

I hope the last message I sent helps you get through the db 
stuff.  Interchange has many good ways to access databases through perl, 
which are not only documented in the IC docs, but also in any good perl 
reference documentation.

HTH,
