Your database will be more forthcoming if you set $attr{RaiseError=>1}.

It's not clear to me what you are trying to do. You say you want to replace field values according to the pairs in your flat file. There seems to be a lot of other things going on. You appear to be reading ccodes from 'a', but then updating them in 'rtsdet'.

A few pointss:

  1. What are the magic numbers in your SELECT?
  2. Do you plan to change your password now?
  3. Please improve your source code format. You can paste it from your editor if the browser textarea is contrary.

I have no idea where your escape-newline-pipe sequence is coming from, but I suspect it would help to chomp as you read the file. (Though I don't see how the pipe survives the split.). Some well-placed print statements should resolve that.

Update: Also PrintError=>1 would help. I should have recommended use strict; use warnings; while I was at it. Your fragment has variables popping up all over, and those will help untangle them.
