I have a perl CGI application where the SQL statements are held in a separate text file and are accessed using SQL::Library. A lot of the SQL statements use placeholders, and where they do I would like to be able to extract an array of database field names which require data binding. For example, given the following SQL statement... 
UPDATE TBL_MASTER SET MASTER_CODE = ?,
MASTER_NAME =?,
MASTER_ISDELETED =?
WHERE MASTER_ID = ?

[download]
..I would want to extract the following array.. 
(MASTER_CODE,MASTER_NAME,MASTER_ISDELETED,MASTER_ID)

[download]
I have looked at SQL::Parser & SQL::Statement and they will can give me the number of placeholders but not the database field names they relate to (or have i missed something?) Does anyone know of a module to do what I want (before I start re-inventing the wheel!)
