T-SQL is rejecting the '=,' caused by the empty data. But even if that were filled, you would get another error for the nvarchars because you are entering the data unquoted into the procedure and it would complain with words to the effect: "no such column". This can be resolved by placing quotes around the nvarchar RHS's although not for numeric data. It is unclear what you intend when the data is empty -- should it be accepted or rejected as null? Should the procedure set it to null? Should the referential integrity checks pick it up later? Should the Perl script reject it already? etc. etc.

Update:There is also the related question of whether empty numeric data should become initialised to 0 or whether some other null treatment such as one of the possibilities above should be applied.
