Re: DBD:CSV doesn't interpret variable in "$dbh->" open command?

in reply to DBD:CSV doesn't interpret variable in "$dbh->" open command?

DBD::CSV is a red herring. It has nothing to do with the problem: you're putting $CSVfile in single quotes.

Always assume the problem is in your own code first.

Double-quotes don't work either. Neither do /'s. That's why I wonder if there is any syntax that succeeds. This example is the closest one to the DBD::CSV documentation.	[reply]

From the error message you show, it looks to me like double quotes will work (or better yet, no quotes), but possibly only for relative paths.	[reply]
