Yup. On the other hand, if you

then that is the answer I was looking for. If there is no other way, then I will just write it up. Thanks for the info.

A shortcut for a prepare/execute pair is the `do` method, which will save you some typing. If you can figure out a way to take your original block of code and turn it into seperate SQL statements, Perl is quite good at that sort of thing. For example if statements are seperated by blank lines or semicolons, you could use `split` to get the list of statements to execute.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
