$dbhstmt->execute( "'$SuStCo_strID'", "'$date'" ); I suggest this, as it's a good idea to have quotes around anything going into SQL, to stop nasty input tricks.

Bad advice, unless you want to end up with extra quote characters around fields in the database. I've only seen people do that by accident.

Better to pass strings to execute() either unquoted, or surrounded by double quotes. The latter is needed if you're trying to "pass" on object that overides stringify, and you want to store the stringified representation.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
