Thank you, the code is what I wanted, but I have figured out my issue, I get the following error: 

DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_array failed: fetch() without execute() at /ho
+me/rdscopy.pl line 204.
DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_array failed: fetch() without execute() at /ho
+me/rdscopy.pl line 204.

when there is no data in the table facebook_321_ext table in production, so the query reutrns nothing and then the insert statement below " while (my @insert_ext = $feed_table_ext_results->fetchrow_array())" which is line 204 gives that error, but it works when data is there upon other test. 

 while (my @insert_ext = $feed_table_ext_results>fetchrow_array())
                                        {
         
                  $ext_insert->execute(@insert_ext) ;
                                        }

Is there a way I can error check before executing?
