All i have a strange issue, when i try and enter some strings into a database using DBD::Oracle and DBI i get the PIPE symbol entered into the same column.

        if($debug){&writelog(1,"INFO: Sent Order Order id = $msgsendid
+: \"$sendclient,$sendordid,$sendlotsfill,$sendfillprice,$sendlotsact,
+$sendtransno,$send
dborderid,$sendlotsordered,$sendamedorderid,$sendorderprice,$sendtrade

+llopen,$sendmaturi
ty,$sendordertype,$sendaction,$sendacc,$sendtimetransmis,$appiamsgdiff
+,$appiamsgdiffsecs\" Full String");}
        # Now we have all the data we insert into the database table
        my $sql = qq{INSERT INTO $dbtable VALUES(GFMIS.FIXCUSTOMERPERF
+_SEQ.nextval,'$recclient','$recordid','$senddborderid','$reclotsorder
+ed',
                                                                      
+     '$recorderprice','$rectraderid','$recbuysell','$recconsid','$rec
+ordertype',
                                                                      
+     '$recaction','$recacc','$rectimetransmis','$sendlotsfill','$send
+fillprice',
                                                                      
+     '$sendfilltype','$sendtimetransmis','$appiamsgdiff','$appiamsgdi
+ffsecs')};
        my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
        $sth->execute();
        $sth->finish;

The log shows this before it enters it.
20-12-2005 11:38: INFO: Sent Order Order id = TESTER-5-send: "TESTER,f
+ud646_20051118,0.0000,0.00000000,0.0000,1049,1317260662,5.0000,0,1461

But in the database my columns look like this.
FIXID | CLIENTNAME | CLIENTORDERID |
8 | TESTER | fud646_20051118| |

So the "fud646_20051118|" should be "fud646_20051118" why is the pipe getting inserted. ?
