Hi all, I can connect to my database fine (I think) but can't execute the statements.
The error I get is 
DBD::DBM::st execute failed: 
Execution ERROR: Cannot open /Users/action_type.lck: No such file or d
+irectory (2) at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.20/lib/DBI/DBD/SqlEngine.pm l
+ine 1589.
.

 [for Statement "select distinct action_type, description from action_
+type "] at LoadACtionType.pl line 11.
Cannot execute the statement 
Execution ERROR: Cannot open /Users/action_type.lck: No such file or d
+irectory (2) at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.20/lib/DBI/DBD/SqlEngine.pm l
