Dear Monks,

I am using DBI to communicate with MySQL database, and I am also using placeholders in a function like this:

 my $selectdata = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM data WHERE content = ?");

However, when I execute this statement, it comes up with case-insensitive match (i.e. it selects all rows where content is "Perl", "PERL" and "perl" when I supply "Perl" to the execute() method)

Is there an easy way to enable case-sensitive matches? I have read through DBI documentation, but I only seem to find a chapter of how to get information about case-sensitivity of the DBI driver itself and not on statement-to-statement basis.

I am sorry if this is a dumb question, please push me into the right direction
