It starts at zero:

Here is some live code:

    my ($q, $i, $row, %map);
    $q = spi_exec_query('select lower(username) as username, id from employee');
    foreach $i (0.. $q->{processed} - 1)
    {
        $row = $q->{rows}[$i];
        $map{ $row->{username} } = $row->{id};
    }
    $q = undef;
