It's for a client, and I already have a perl and ruby version of the 
same script. He wants the three versions for comparison (he likes bash 
scripts, knows perl and is interested in ruby). So I just need to figure 
out how to make it work.

I figured I would need to learn sed and awk, but I can't begin that 
until I can feed each row of the DB query into an array... Hence my 
question here. :)
