right - knew there was something funny going on. after much testing i've 
finally isolated the problem. i am attempting to use a sql query string 
with multiple matches using 'or'. As far as i understood this is ok to 
do in interchange...

the following peice of code demonstrates my problem:

[query arrayref=myref base=cattable sql="select code,descrip,template 
from cattable where code=401 or code=252"]
<!--body not used... -->
[/query]
[perl ]
# Get the query results, has multiple fields
my $ary = $Tmp->{myref};
$Scratch->{foundstuff}="no";
foreach $line (@$ary) {
($code,$descrip,$template) = @$line;
$Scratch->{foundstuff}="yes";
}
[/perl]
did i find stuff? [scratch foundstuff]

this says "did i find stuff? no" whereas if i change the sql to "select 
code,descrip,template from cattable where code=401" or "select 
code,descrip,template from cattable where code=252" i get "did i find 
stuff? yes".

Is my code wrong? it generates no errors...

please help!
