Hey Perl Monks! I have a piece of code which is running across some data and placing it within an Oracle database. The bug which I have found is that 2 of my SQL statements don't work by executing them in perl, but they do work in Oracle SQL Developer: 
    my $query = $self->{dbConn}->prepare("INSERT INTO repository(rname
+) VALUES('". $repository->getName ."')");
    my $affected = $query->execute;
    $self->{dbConn}->commit;
    $logger->debug($DBI::errstr || 'no errors found, ' . $affected . '
+ affected');

This piece of code places a new repository within the database. This generates a log like: 
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:62 ResultSQL::prvInsertRepo - 
+Reporting repository
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:65 ResultSQL::prvInsertRepo - 
+INSERT INTO repository(rname) VALUES('testSQL')
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:69 ResultSQL::prvInsertRepo - 
+no errors found, 1 affected

This next example of code is where the bug is: 
  $logger->debug("INSERT INTO script(repoid, sname) SELECT repoid, '" 
+. $scriptN . "' as sname FROM repository WHERE rname='" . $repository
+->getName . "'");
        my $query = $self->{dbConn}->prepare("INSERT INTO script(repoi
+d, sname) SELECT repoid, '" . $scriptN . "' as sname FROM repository 
+WHERE rname='" . $scriptN . "'");
        my $affected = $query->execute;
        $self->{dbConn}->commit;
        $logger->debug($DBI::errstr || 'no errors found, ' . $affected
+ . ' affected');

This generates this log: 
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:78 ResultSQL::prvInsertScripts
+ - Reporting scripts
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:81 ResultSQL::prvInsertScripts
+ - INSERT INTO script(repoid, sname) SELECT repoid, 'tableName' as sn
+ame FROM repository WHERE rname='testSQL'
2009/04/02 11:15:15 DEBUG> ResultSQL.pm:85 ResultSQL::prvInsertScripts
+ - no errors found, 0E0 affected

There is another method which gets called after this, but it pretty much does the same job but if a different set of data. When I check the database out I would have an entry in the repository table, but nothing else. As I said before, if I take the SQL from my log, paste it into SQL Developer, it will execute as expected.. Any ideas? I am totally stuck.. Cheers in advance ..
