mysql DBI interface and the column types

[Nicholas Albright]

  In the DBI interface I can use $sth->{type} to get a reference to an
array of column types.  However, what exactly is in the reference I get
back, and how do I translate this into 'english'?  As far as I can tell
it's just an array of integers.  Does anyone know?

  Thanks for your time,
   -Nick
