In your save_record sub you have: 
my $query = 
 "update $Table set ? where ...";
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);

Two suggestions:
  1. If you are doing an update (instead of a query), you don't really need to go through the prepare(),execute() sequence. You may find that: 
    $dbh->do("update $Table set...");

    is easier to deal with.

  2. It looks like you are aware of the ? placeholder syntax, but you aren't using it everywhere. There are several cases where you are putting "raw" variables into a select or update clause. This can cause problems if the variable content has a single quote, percent sign, etc. You'll either have to use the $dbh->quote() method to escape chars (better), or the ? placeholder syntax (better still).
