hello friends,
I have a question in perl programming.

I am trying on a logic where i have to ignore "'" (apostrophe) in a array.

Here is my code:
************* 

sub func
{
 my ($value) = @_ ; 
 if($value =~ s/\'//)
 {       
   $value = "'".$value."'";
 } 
}

************
This works fine if the data in a column is :

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

hello Ron, welcome to Itn'l ariport

[download]

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
but giving ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated error if the data is
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

he'llo Ron, welco'me to Itn'l ariport

[download]

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
so i tried something like this
*************

sub func
{
 my ($value) = @_ ; 
 if($value =~ /\'/)
 {
       if($value[$i] = 0; $value[$i] <= length($value); $value[$i]++)
        {
            if($value =~ s/\'//);
    }
    $value = "'".$value."'";
  } 
}

actually i am trying to ignore "'" (apostrophe) in a array. since i am not getting the logic atleast i am trying to replace it with nothing.

i am getting syntax errors here.

I am learing perl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
