I'm working on some code to store reports in a database, and I'm running into a wall on a simple DBI update. Here's the relevant code: 

if ( $q->param( 'submit') ) {
    $db_sth = $db_dbh->prepare( <<'    END_OF_SQL' ) ;
        update
          report
        set
          dbms_name   = ?,
          report_name = ?,
          report_desc = ?,
          db_name     = ?,
          db_username = ?,
          db_password = ?,
          sql_query   = ?
        where
          report_id   = ?
    END_OF_SQL
    $db_sth->execute(
        $q->param( 'dbms_name' ),
        $q->param( 'report_name' ),
        $q->param( 'report_desc' ),
        $q->param( 'db_name' ),
        $q->param( 'db_username' ),
        $q->param( 'db_password' ),
        $q->param( 'sql_query' ),
        $q->param( 'report_id' )
    ) or die $db_sth->errstr ;
}

When I try and submit the page with the updates (meaning this block gets executed) I get the following error: 

called with 7 bind variables when 8 are needed at /home/httpd/htdocs/d
+ora/edit_report.cgi line 60.

(line 60 is where the "execute" begins)

Now, no matter how many times I count it, I see 8 parameters in the execute call. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
