in reply to MySQL Data Insertion Errors w/ Perl

From the tone and content of your post, I can tell you are thoughtful and serious about this work. The tone of the replies seem a bit harsh, but I'm sure that is because we are shocked, shocked I say, by the code in the script. ;-) Don't take the tone too personally, but do try to address the issues brought up.

In particular, using place holders isn't hard at all Read up on DBI recipes for detailed help.

Since you are new to Perl, it might not seem easy, but keep at it and it will.

good luck

    Thanks for the encouragement... I'm just happy that I can admit that I'm not the original programmer behind this code! Unfortunately, there aren't any other easy solutions to this particular need, so I'm kind of stuck using it for the time being. Thankfully, you guys have been a big help.

    BTW, I've gotten those problem items to insert using placeholders... now it's time to go about and renovate the rest of the code, so to speak.
