Query Cache and Perl

[T N]

Hi,
I'm using DBI to connect to MySQL 4.1 in Perl.

In the MySQL manual (Section 5.12) it says :
"Note: The query cache is not used for server-side prepared statements. If you are using server-side prepared statements consider that these statements will not be satisfied by the query cache. See Section 18.2.4, “C API Prepared Statements”."


Is Perl DBI using these "server-side prepared statements", or can I use the query cache?

My code is using the syntax where is says "prepare" like this:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM table");
$sth->execute();
my $rs = $sth->fetchrow_hashref();
.....

Greetings,
TN
