Hi,
I have a mysql dump "xyz.sql". I want to use DBI package for DB connection. Using database handle I want to import the dump file into DB. What I have done is : 
open(FH,"xyz.sql");
        $/ = EOF;
        $sql = <FH>;
        $sth = $dbh->prepare("$sql");
        $sth->execute();

The above code doesn't seems to be working. It result error as 
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; c
+heck the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the
+ right syntax to use near ';
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 S' at line 7 at resultsDBsource.pl line 34, <FH> chunk 1.

Please advice .. Thnx
