in reply to executing a OSP with CGI

Perhaps a better way would be to: 

my $sth=$dbh->prepare("exec OSP_FOO_BAR(?,?,?)")
   or die $dbh->errstr;
$sth->execute($xvar,$yvar,$zvar) 
   or die $sth->errstr;

This way you can capture any errors you generate and you are allowing the DBI interface to do what it does very well and handle any necessary type coversions for your variables.

Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the input. I thougt $sth-execute() was used solely on Select statements

    You might consider initializing your $dbh thus: 
    $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $db_user, $db_pass,
                    { RaiseError => 1 }
                   ) or croak "Couldn't connect to database";

    The RaiseError argument will allow you to avoid the 
    or die $dbh->errstr

    on each of your database actions.

    Namaste
