Answer: Calling a method within a double-quoted string?

Thanks folks! I already knew about placeholders but not all DBI drivers support them.

I always forget about sprintf. I guess I don't like seperating variables from the string.

Interpolation.pm looks really cool. I'll have to try it.

Even if the underlying database doesn't support placeholders or bound variables, DBI emulates the behavior internally. This is true, at least, of the MySQL driver. The appendix of the DBI book has more information.	[reply] [d/l]
