Oh that's too bad! I would have just been using the psql binary directly by now. If you really want to do this without the external process you should probabyl raise this problem on one of the PostgreSQL mailing lists.

    when i do this: 
    my $row = join("\t",
                       $name,
                       $value,
                       $date,
                       $ompId);
print INPUTFILE "$row\n";
 }
    }

    print INPUTFILE "\\.\n";
    $dbh->do("COPY snapshot_$formName (name, value, collect_date, omp_
+id) from '$db_input'")
        or die "Couldn't write COPY STATEMENT to snapshot_$formName: $
+@, " . $dbh->errstr;

    Seriously, what the hell. Also, when I do the same copy statement from the cmd line, it works. I hate this. I even catch to make sure that $date, which is always there is there and it is.
