Your ignorance? I think that the rule is that you only quote when you have to, and bind your parameters at all other times. Which pretty much means a borked driver, I think, where it doesn't handle quoting for you, and neither does the database backend (if any). So, if anything, your only ignorance might be saying you're ignorant about using ? instead of quote ;-)
Update: ok, that might have been confusing. You're absolutely right - use ? over quote(). Everytime. Unless, of course, the DBD doesn't support ?.

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).
