Has anyone ever produced anything like the following, and has got MS SQL 2000 to accept the requests that are submitted. Without error messages like:

DBD::ODBC::db do failed: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Serve
+r]Line 567: Incorrect syntax near 'GO'. (SQL-42000)(DBD: Execute imme
+diate failed err=-1) at Run_required_SPROCS.pl line 97, <FILE> line 9
+35. <code>

The code:

#! perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

use DBD::ODBC;


use File::Copy;

my ($data_source, $database, $user_id, $password) = qw(127.0.0.1 not_t
+elling not_telling not_telling ); # This ip address is an address tha
+t is common to all computers and therefore is a perminant ip address

my $conn_string = "driver={SQL Server}; Server=$data_source; Database=
+$database; Trusted_Connection=yes"; 


my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:$conn_string" ) or die $DBI::errstr;



my @files;
my $line;
my $file;



while (<*.sql>) {
   
  next if $_ eq 'Activate.sql';

  $file = $_;
  
  open (FILE, "$file");


  my $line_number = 0;
  my $run;

 LINE: while (<FILE>){
     
    my $line = $_;
    $line_number = $line_number +1;

    $run = 1;

    if ($line_number == 1){
      $run = 0 if $line !~ m/^ALTER\sPROCEDURE\s/;

      last LINE;
    }
    else {

      $run = 1;
    }
    last LINE;
  }
  
  if ($run == 1){
    
    push (@files, $file);
  }
  else {
    #Do nothing

}


print "@files";

Update: By the way. This program now works very well when the SPROCS are already present but does not work when I want to create new SPROCS. Never mind.
