I've seen similar effects when working with arrays. I'm not sure since
I'm still new to PostgreSQL but would a foreach loop work.

foreach @row ( $result->fetchrow ) {
@columns = @$row;
}

I seem to remember reading somewhere that foreach's are faster and more
memory conservative. (Been reading too many perl books lately so I can't
say where I saw this.)
