That makes sense! Since this is a sub-routine and it gets called multiple times from the main body (please see example below), would it make sense for me to do the prepare on the main body and just execute in the sub-routine? Did I understand your advice correctly? 
if (($message[6] eq "ASA-6-302015") || ($message[6] eq "ASA-6-302013")
+) {
        $Config_found = 1;
        $Accepted++;
        $Action="Allow";
        # $Scountry = &Obtain_GeoIP ($message[14]);
        my $sqlinsert = $dbh->prepare("insert into `$Table_Name` ( Mon
+th, Day, Time, Host, ASA_ID, Protocol, Source_Segment, Source_IP, Sou
+rce_Port, Source_NAT_IP, Source_NAT_PORT, Source_DNS, Source_GeoIP, S
+ource_Domain, Destination_Segment, Destination_IP, Destination_Port, 
+Destination_NAT_IP, Destination_NAT_Port, Destination_DNS, Destinatio
+n_GeoIP, Destination_Domain, Action, Severity, Notes, Full_message ) 
+values ( '$message[0]', '$message[1]', '$time', '$message[5]', '$mess
+age[6]', '$message[9]', '$message[13]', '$message[14]','$message[15]'
+,'$message[16]','$message[17]', '$Sdns', '$Scountry', '$Sdomain', '$m
+essage[19]', '$message[20]', '$message[21]', '$message[22]', '$messag
+e[23]', '$Ddns', '$Dcountry', '$Ddomain', '$Action', '$severity', '$n
+otes', '$original_line'  )");
        $sqlinsert->execute();
        next;
        }
