After spending sometime with the other perl monks here is my revised version of the same function above... please let me know what you think

sub InsertProspect
{
    # Get the new prospect
    my $prospect = shift; 
    
    # Connect to the database
    my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:menagerie', 'menagerie') or die 
+DBI->errstr;

    # Insert the new prospect in the database
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO prospect VALUES (NULL, ?, ?, 
+?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
    
    # Execute the statement
    $sth->execute($prospect->name, $prospect->address,
                  $prospect->address2, $prospect->state,
                  $prospect->city, $prospect->phone, 
                  $prospect->phone2, $prospect->phone3,
                  $prospect->phone4, $prospect->phoneType,
                  $prospect->phone2Type, $prospect->phone3Type,
                  $prospect->phone4, $prospect->email,
                  $prospect->url, $prospect->interestLevel,
                  $prospect->designFirm, $prospect->hostingFirm,
                  $prospect->companyName) or die DBI->errstr;

    # Lets get the prospect id  that we just added back
    $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT last_insert_id() from prospect");
    $sth->execute or die DBI->errstr;
    my @id = $sth->fetchrow_array;
    my $ID = $id[0];

    # Return the new prospects ID
    return $ID;
}
