I'm submitting a REST query to Yahoo and they don't care about bind values and place holders. I used SQL::Abstract to make my query to them but is there a defacto non hackery way to fill in the bind values to the placeholders to get the full SQL statement? As far as I can tell it isn't in the SQL::Abstract documentation.

Here is my code: 
     use SQL::Abstract;

     my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new;

     #  get query string
     my ( $stmt, @bind ) = $sql->select(
          'yahoo.finance.historicaldata',
          [ '*' ],
          [
               -and => [ 
                    symbol    => $arg{'symbols'},
                    endDate   => $arg{'end_dt'}->ymd('-'),
                    startDate => $arg{'start_dt'}->ymd('-'),
               ],
           ],
     );

### outputs
# $stmt = 'SELECT * FROM yahoo.finance.historicaldata WHERE ( ( ( symb
+ol = ? OR symbol = ? ) AND endDate = ? AND startDate = ? ) )';
#\@bind = [
#          'VZ',
#          'T',
#          '2013-10-19',
#          '2013-10-29'
#        ];
#

### wanted
# $stmt = 'SELECT * FROM yahoo.finance.historicaldata WHERE ( ( ( symb
+ol = VZ OR symbol = T ) AND endDate = 2013-10-29 AND startDate = 2013
+-10-19 ) )';
