Hi, MySQL and Perl newbie here. Please don't hurt me! :)

I'm trying to get information, from within a Perl script, about a
column in one of my tables. It's a "set" type, and I need to know
what the order is for the list of possible values.

Ex: I have a column called "subjects" in one of my tables, whose
type is "set". The possible values of this column is a list that
looks like this:

"school",
"parent",
"sibling",
"friends",
"drugs",
"money",
"sports",
"movies",
"videogames",
"homework",
"teachers"

How would I obtain this list from a perl script?

Thanks,
J. Wermont
