Dear Monks,

The following code works well. 


#! perl -w scipt

use strict;
use DBI;
use DBD::ODBC;

my ( $data_source, $database, $user_id, $password ) = qw( ip_adddreaa 
+First natt silver ); #not real
my $conn_string = "driver={SQL Server}; Server=$data_source; Database=
+$database; UID=$user_id; PWD=$password";
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:$conn_string" ) or die $DBI::errstr;


my $user_specified_table_name = "Doncaster_Deaths 1975_onwards_slim_D"
+;

create_table($user_specified_table_name);

sub create_table ($) {
  my($table_name) = $_;

  if (my $table_name eq /Doncaster_Deaths_1975_onwards_slim_D/){
    my $sql = qq{ CREATE TABLE Doncaster_Deaths_1975_onwards_slim_D (y
+ear_of_death int NOT NULL,

                                                               sex int

                                                               undcaus

    $dbh->do($sql);

  }
