    No problem, may be you can redeem yourself in pointing out why I am getting "Use of uninitialized value $ref in join or string at dbmigration.pl line 124. Use of uninitialized value $ref1 in join or string at dbmigration.pl line 148." errors? :0)

      OK, got it. It's because the DB return contains NULL values so the code is basically trying to do a join on an empty string!

      I have added the below just before the join and it has fixed it.

      foreach (%$ref) {$_ = '' unless defined};

      Thanks all

        A hash key can never be undefined. Loop over the values only:
        defined or $_ = '' for values %$ref;

        Or, in newer Perls,

        $_ //= '' for values %$ref;
        ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
