    I am really sorry that it is not working for you. Actually, I created a temptable and tried executing the code that you are using;
    my $ref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref(" select name, email from testtable") || die $dbh->errstr; foreach my $person (@{$ref}) { my ($name,$emai) = @{$person}; print "<font color=\"red\" >Name : $name </font>"; print "<font color=\"blue\"> Email : $email </font><br>"; + }
    It runs just fine even with the "Dr. John Bull". Please check the database if some special characters are not slipped thru.
    here is the output
    Name : Dr. John Bull Email :
      Code Master,
      I couldn't believe what is happening that the same script gives different results on different machines, finally I add the following code to your script:
      my $ref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref(" select name, email from users") || die $dbh->errstr; foreach my $person (@{$ref}) { my ($name,$emai) = @{$person}; $_=$Name; s/ /_/g; $Name=$_; print "<font color=\"red\" >Name : $name </font>"; print "<font color=\"blue\"> Email : $email </font><br>"; }

      Surprisingly, the result is:
      Name : Dr._John_Bull Email :

      So, it is not DB error, but something else. Do you have any idea how to improve it?
      I can live with the "_" insted the " " but Perl beauty suffers.
      Best regards,
      sOKOle
