You don't make it easy to help, since you do not share the content of the file, nor the error message, nor your full DBI statement, but it sure looks like you are not using placeholders and bind values. This is what's getting you into the quoting problem addressed by stevieb.

Try something like:

my $res = $dbh->do('UPDATE artistsfull SET page=LOAD_FILE( ? ) where c
+ode= ?', {}, $infile, $code);

Hope this helps!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
