Below is some of the code. The Class::DBI part works perfect everywhere else I am using it. I tried passing in the parameters directly in the find_or_create, and with the hash. I also tried not deferencing the hash in the find_or_create().

            my %list_params = (
                                listnum     => $listnum,
                                address     => $address,
                                city        => $city,
                                state       => $state,
                                zip         => $zip,
                                tot_bed     => $tot_bed,
                                tot_bath    => $tot_bath,
                                tot_sqft    => $tot_sqft,
                                home_style  => $home_style,
                                home_type   => $home_type,
                                sch_element => $sch_element,
                                sch_intermed=> $sch_intermed,
                                sch_highsch => $sch_highsch,
                                price       => $price,
                                photo       => $photos[0][2],
                                acres       => $acres
                                );

print Dumper(\%list_params);
$addlisting = Table::Listings->find_or_create(\%list_params);

Both were added to the database for the following hashes, when in reality only the first should have:

$VAR1 = {
          'sch_element' => 'Salina',
          'home_style' => 'Manufact/Modular',
          'photo' => 'http://photo.somesite.com/280x210/419964.jpg',
          'tot_bed' => '3',
          'acres' => '0.270000',
          'tot_bath' => '2',
          'state' => 'UT',
          'home_type' => 'Single Family',
          'zip' => '84614',
          'city' => 'Salina',
          'listnum' => '419764',
          'price' => '88900',
          'sch_highsch' => 'North Sevier',
          'address' => ' SALINA CREEK DR',
          'sch_intermed' => 'Red Hills',
          'tot_sqft' => '1404'
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'sch_element' => 'Salina',
          'home_style' => 'Manufact/Modular',
          'photo' => 'http://photo.somesite.com/280x210/419964.jpg',
          'tot_bed' => '3',
          'acres' => '0.270000',
          'tot_bath' => '2',
          'state' => 'UT',
          'home_type' => 'Single Family',
          'zip' => '84614',
          'city' => 'Salina',
          'listnum' => '419764',
          'price' => '88900',
          'sch_highsch' => 'North Sevier',
          'address' => ' SALINA CREEK DR',
          'sch_intermed' => 'Red Hills',
          'tot_sqft' => '1404'
        };

In the following find_or_create the first attempt was added (blank table) and then the second one was not added. So this is how it is supposed to work, but again only 5 of 21 work properly.

$VAR1 = {
          'sch_element' => 'Monroe',
          'home_style' => 'Rambler/Ranch',
          'photo' => 'http://photo.somesite.com/280x210/415584.jpg',
          'tot_bed' => '5',
          'acres' => '3.000000',
          'tot_bath' => '1',
          'state' => 'UT',
          'home_type' => 'Single Family',
          'zip' => '84777',
          'city' => 'Annabella',
          'listnum' => '415684',
          'price' => '63900',
          'sch_highsch' => 'South Sevier',
          'address' => ' N ANNABELLA RD ',
          'sch_intermed' => 'South Sevier',
          'tot_sqft' => '2392'
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'sch_element' => 'Monroe',
          'home_style' => 'Rambler/Ranch',
          'photo' => 'http://photo.somesite.com/280x210/415584.jpg',
          'tot_bed' => '5',
          'acres' => '3.000000',
          'tot_bath' => '1',
          'state' => 'UT',
          'home_type' => 'Single Family',
          'zip' => '84777',
          'city' => 'Annabella',
          'listnum' => '415684',
          'price' => '63900',
          'sch_highsch' => 'South Sevier',
          'address' => ' N ANNABELLA RD ',
          'sch_intermed' => 'South Sevier',
          'tot_sqft' => '2392'
        };

Also if there is a / in the text it gets cut off after that, so it will say Manufact/ instead of Manufact/Modular in the field, or http:// instead of the full URL. Any ideas on that one too? I guess the other thing to do is just check the database if it comes up with a match and then if it doesn't just create the file like normal. Anyone come across similar problems? -Michael Jensen
