I have the following code and it fails on Sql and also what is q! suggested previously stand for. 
my($tdater, $filen, $ttot, $ttot2, $logfilen, $tots, $diff) = split(/\
+|/);
        chomp ($tdater);
        chomp ($filen);
        chomp ($ttot);
        chomp ($ttot2);
        chomp ($logfilen);
        chomp ($tots);
        chomp ($diff);
        my $theyear = 2000 + substr $tdater,6,2;
        my $themo = substr $tdater, 0, 2;
        my $thedt = substr $tdater, 3, 2;
        my $thedate = $theyear . "/" . $themo . "/" . $thedt;
        my $quer1="INSERT into logfile 
    ('Date Send', 'Certificate file', 'No of Certificate', PDFNO, 'log
+ file', 'Notice sent', Difference)
        VALUES ({d '$thedate'}, '$filen', '$ttot', '$ttot2', '$logfile
+n', '$tots', '$diff')";
          my $query = q! 
          INSERT INTO logfile ("Date Send", "Certificate file")
          VALUES ({d '$thedate'}, $filen)
            !;
            
         if ( $db->Sql($query))
             {
                print "error executing query [ \"$query\" ]\n";
                print "Error: " . Win32::ODBC::Error() . "\n";

        }
    
}
