Well, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, but ... easier to read? How is

$dbh2->do("INSERT INTO PerlTest (Postcode,street_column,streetCount) V +ALUES (?,?,?)", undef, '', $mystreet, 0);
easier to read than
$dbh2->do("INSERT INTO PerlTest (Postcode,street_column,streetCount) V +ALUES ('',?,0)", undef, $mystreet);
? Not speaking about
my $sth = $dbh2->prepare("INSERT INTO PerlTest (Postcode,street_column +,streetCount) VALUES (?,?,?)"); ... $sth->execute('', $mystreet, 0);
versus
my $sth = $dbh2->prepare("INSERT INTO PerlTest (Postcode,street_column +,streetCount) VALUES ('',?,0)"); ... $sth->execute($mystreet);

Plus it makes the errors more likely, not less. IMnsHO.
