Hi there, I'm trying to write a little perl module that would upload log tarballs to mysql database. However I'm having issues, because it doesn't seem to upload the content of the file at all. Here is my code: 
open(TARFILE, "< $domain_path/$file_name");
while(<TARFILE>)
    {
         $filedata = $filedata . $_;
    }
$db_handle = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:PMCONTROL:host:port', 'db', 'pass
+word', { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1});
my $sth = $db_handle->prepare("insert into LOGS (Domain, ID, Batch, LO
+G_Type, File_name, Comment, File_Data) values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$sth->execute($doma, $d_id, $entry->{batch}, $entry->{log_type}, $file
+_name, $entry->{comment}, $filedata);
$sth->finish();
$db_handle->disconnect();
