Hi,

OK, what I want to do is put some text into mysql table.
But, I get a problem where if there's a single quote in
my $body, then the sql syntax complains.
Here's my code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use Mail::Internet;

my $dbase   = "python";
my $driver  = "DBI:mysql";
my $user    = 'morongo';
my $passwd  = 'llama';
my $dbh     = DBI->connect("$driver:database=$dbase",$user,$passwd) or
+ die "Can't connect";
my $msg     = new Mail::Internet \*STDIN;
my $from    = $msg->head->get('From');
my $to      = $msg->head->get('To');
my $date    = $msg->head->get('Date');
my $subject = $msg->head->get('Subject');
my $body    = join('',@{$msg->body});


$dbh->do("INSERT INTO agency (AgencyName,Email) Values('CNN','$to')");
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO article (Subject,CNNDate,SenderEmail) Values('$s
+ubject','$date','$from')");
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO body (Body) Values('$body')");


$dbh->disconnect;

If my $body or $subject has the following
This is a 'test'
Then it complains....which can be understandable that there's a single quote in my sql cmd.

any suggestions?
