K, I have this now

   $dbh->func('COPY snapshot_$formName (name, value, collect_date, omp
+_id) from STDIN', 'putline');
    print "Started a line\n";
    foreach my $values (@form_out){
      #my $cmd = `rm -f $form_out`;
      my @values = split(/;/, $values);
      my @names = split(/ /, $ga->{'outputString'}{$formName});
      my $count = 0;
      $count = 0;
      foreach my $value (@values){
        chomp($value);
        if (!$names[$count]){
         print "$value element # $count does not exist in array\n";
        }
        my $name = $names[$count];
        chomp($name);
        $value =~ s/\s+/ / if $value;
        $value = 'Null' if (length($value) < '1');
        if ($value =~ /\w+/){
          $dbh->func("$name\t$value\t$date\t$ompId", 'putline');
        }else{
          $dbh->func("$name\tNull\t$date\t$ompId", 'putline');
        }
         $count++;
      }
    }
    $dbh->func( "\\.\n", 'putline' );
    print "ended that line\n";
