Just cleaning up the AM's post...

Update:
BTW: I just noticed this. Is there any specific reason why you are not using placeholders with prepare? I'd do it this way...
$sth = $dbh->prepare(qq{
    SELECT * from login 
    where log = ?
}) or die("Failed to prepare: $DBI::errstr\n");

$sth->execute($logname)
    or die("Failed to execute: $DBI::errstr\n");

Be lazy, and let DBI quote for you, its easier! :)
