Hello my friends,

Iīm having a very strange error. After a few editions on a script, wich included commands I am quite familiar with, Perl started complaining about things that just donīt make any sense.

For example: (code / error) 


my $query3 = "insert into details (rec_id,descr,cover) 
              VALUES ('$db_rec_id','$descr','$namecover');";

[download]
Error: Unquoted string "descr" may clash with future reserved word at C:\Andre\EstanteVirtual\Site\cgi-bin\adicionar.cgi line 440. Bareword found where operator expected at C:\Andre\EstanteVirtual\Site\cgi-bin\adicionar.cgi line 441, near ")VALUES" Fri Feb 25 21:04:04 2005 adicionar.cgi: (Missing operator before VALUES?)

Another one: 

print $q->redirect( -url => "$dominio/cgi-bin/estante.cgi?aba=3");

[download]
Error: Scalar found where operator expected at C:\Andre\EstanteVirtual\Site\cgi-bin\adicionar.cgi line 490, at end of line Fri Feb 25 21:04:04 2005 adicionar.cgi: (Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 477)

The script generates two pages of these psycho complaints. All the suggestions that Perl gives donīt make sense. Any of you has run with this oddity already?

Im totally stuck with this.

Thanks a lot!

André
