You could manually escape your inputs using quote (as described in DBI), but that's still a lot of interpolation and kind of a mess. Cleaner would be to use Placeholders and Bind Values. For example, if I were writing your code, it might look more like
my $sql = <<EOSQL; insert into Table ( Ticket_ID, Subject, Status, Priority, Created_Time, Queue, Owner, Class_Type, Sent_Date) values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,now()); EOSQL my $query = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die $dbh->errstr; $query->execute($Ticket_ID, $Subject, $Status, $Priority, $Created_Time, $Queue, $Owner, $Class_Type, ) or die $dbh->errstr;
Also note I corrected a typo in your SQL - in the future, make sure that what you post actually compiles/runs/demonstrates your issue, as described in How do I post a question effectively?.

#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
