It can't be the same because the script didn't work with execute(@args) but it does work with execute(eval{join(',',@args),return(@args)});
*shrug*
I don't know why...it just does.
One possible explanation is that the execute method is looking for separate arguments and not a list. Thus, I am taking a list and turning it into arguments.
summary of what I think is happening: The execute() method wants distinct arguments ie
execute(arg1,arg2,arg3) vs execute(qw(arg1 arg2 arg3)) which is the same, of course, as execute(@args). The latter 2 examples don't work possibly because its a list instead of separate and distinct scalars respective to the number of place holders in the prepare() statement.
Does execute() not work this way?
Updated: Fixed syntax mistake with qw().

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).
