dereferencing issues

Hi

I've tried studying perldoc pages, the htmps template pages and most  
things relating to dbi etc.

Despite this I have been unable to understand how to dereference  
fetchall_arrayref({})

I can dereference fetchall_arrayref()  but not  fetchall_arrayref 
( {} ), i.e the arrayref of hash refs.

I would like to query the database using fetchall_arrayref({}), the  
dereference that and perhaps make changes to some values, put it back  
into  an arrayref({}) and then dump it to html template.

SO far I'm stumped with the first part..i simply cant dereference the  
*fg!?*-thing  <grinning> .. anyway, please is there some who can help  
iterate through arrayref({}) (both key and value).

AN example

I query the database for "Name", "Adress", "Phone", "Fax", "Email"

the $rows = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});

now i would like to dump my rows into an array and check for certain  
values etc, for instance lets say the phonenumber is represented as  
512445566 in the database, but i want it to display as 512-445566 in  
the html-template..therefore i would need to access the "Phone"  
query, check its format, possibly change it, insert the new value in  
my arrayref of hashrefs.

(on my knees and waiting)
