In the statement:

eval $TabString

following a no strict; I'm getting this error in $@:

Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at (eval 34)/home/bear/MC/MOB/DB/Utilities.pm:57 line 1, at EOF

where $TabString is:

DBI::db=HASH(0x40b8a38)->do("CREATE TABLE STAIP08FK (PROBKEY varchar(20),MOBPAITS varchar(15),SOLVER varchar(10),UNKNOWNS char(11),CONSTRAINTS char(11),OBJECTIVE char(11),MODEL char(16),CRITERIA char(11),ITERATIONS integer,primary key (PROBKEY) );");

The connected DBI handle seems to be the problem. I'm generating these joined DB tables dynamically. I can't get around that. Is there a way I can get past this eval error?
