What part of perldoc DBI was unclear to you? prepare prepares the
statement, passing it to the RDBMS if it supports prepared statements.
fetch is an alias for fetchrow_arrayref (this is also in perldoc DBI,
but it's not absolutely clear where to find it; look for
fetchrow_arrayref and you'll see the place).
