From perldoc DBI:
do
$rows = $dbh->do($statement) or die $dbh->errstr;
$rows = $dbh->do($statement, \%attr) or die $dbh->errstr;
$rows = $dbh->do($statement, \%attr, @bind_values) or die ...
Prepare and execute a single statement. Returns the number of rows affected or undef on error. A return value of -1 means the number of rows is not known, not applicable, or not available.
This method is typically most useful for non-SELECT statements that either cannot be prepared in advance (due to a limitation of the driver) or do not need to be executed repeatedly.
It should not be used for SELECT statements because it does not return a statement handle (so you can't fetch any data).
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
