I have DBI code like this: 
    
my $adsref = $dbh_g->selectcol_arrayref($sql, undef, @bindvals);

[download]
where the sql has a slew of placeholders.

I'd like get my hands on the actual sql that DBI plunks against the database... do I have to build the string with a regexp or can I get it from DBI?
  1. regexp What's an efficient way to replace all the "?" placeholders in my sql with the corresponding elements from the bindvals? I'd prefer the quoting to be right, too.
  2. DBI ...or is there just a way to ask DBI for the actual sql on the last statement handle? Laziness as a Virtue.
Thanks for any help.
nop
