Oh wise ones...
I have been tasked with rewriting a UNIX script in PERL, so that it will run on an NT box. I am very new to PERL and even newer to DB2. The following code (which works from the db2 cmd line) is what I am basically trying to do: 
 db2 "LOAD from $INPUT_DIR/product.input \
   OF DEL  \
   MODIFIED BY TIMESTAMPFORMAT=\"YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.UUUUUU\" \
   SAVECOUNT 1000  \
   MESSAGES $OUTPUT_DIR/product.msg  \
   REPLACE INTO DB2INST1.PRODUCT  \
   COPY YES TO /dev/null \
   WITHOUT PROMPTING \
   DATA BUFFER 2000" >> $SQL_LOG

 db2 "SET INTEGRITY FOR DB2INST1.PRODUCT IMMEDIATE CHECKED" >> $SQL_LO
+G

What I have so far is... 
use DBI;
use Tie::File;
use File::Copy;

my $database='DBI:DB2:game';
my $user='db2admin';
my $password='db2admin';
my $dbh = DBI->connect($database,$user,$password) or die "Can't connec
+t to $database: $DBI::errstr";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
    q{ load from product.input of DEL modified by timestampformat="YYY
+Y-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.uuuuuu" 
    savecount 1000 messages rob.msg replace into db2inst1.product copy
+ yes to d:\data\perl without prompting}) 
    or die "Can't prepare statement: $DBI::errstr";
my $rc = $sth->execute or die "Can't execute statement: $DBI::errstr";

It doesn work....
I get the following message:
DBD::DB2::st execute failed: IBMCLI DriverDB2/NT SQL0007N The character "\" following "duct copy yes to d:/" is not valid. SQLSTATE=42601 Can't execute statement: IBMCLI DriverDB2/NT SQL0007N The character "\" following "duct copy yes to d:/" is not valid. SQL STATE=42601 Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect.

I changed my backslashed to / in the code, then I get:

DBD::DB2::st execute failed: IBMCLI DriverDB2/NT SQL0104N An unexpected token "product" was found following " load from ". Expected tokens may include: "JOIN". SQLSTATE=42601 Can't execute statement: IBMCLI DriverDB2/NT SQL0104N An unexpected token "product" was found following " load from ". Exp ected tokens may include: "JOIN". SQLSTATE=42601 Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect.
Please Help. I'm lost
