I'm getting a error which complains about an unknown placeholder. I don't know how to get around this, and I couldn't find any code examples. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the code:

use DBI;
use CGI;

$sql = "exec CM_Gandalf_Balrog";
$db_handle = DBI->connect
    ('dbi:ODBC:SIMVIPERAS' , '00AIBUILD01', 'aibuild01#')  
    or die "Couldn't connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";


 $statement = $db_handle->prepare($sql)
     or die "Couldn't prepare query '$sql': $DBI::errstr\n";
 $statement->bind_param("p_frodo","AI Clues / BBE");
 $statement->bind_param("p_legolas","AI Rel 05.12");
 $statement->execute() or die "Couldn't execute query '$sql': $DBI::er
+rstr\n";

I get the following error which I haven't been able to get around:

Can't bind unknown placeholder 'p_frodo' at D:\Brent\Perl\connect_to_v
+iper_sql_server\objects_impacted_stored_proc.pl line 57.

Am I missing something in the bind call?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Brent.
