This doesn't solve the problem you are asked, but please, use placeholders:

my $SQL1    = "INSERT INTO property (address_1, address_2, county, cit
+y, zip, description, status, bedroom) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
+";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($SQL1) or die $dbh->errstr;
$sth->execute($address_1, $address_2, $county, $city, $zip, $descripti
+on, $status, $bedroom);
$sth->finish();

Unfortunately, placeholders can't be used on table names on most databases, or else the solution to your problem would be easy.
