As it is your code will give an error because of the unterminated substitution. It won't create valid sql and would actually do an all keywords match only.
you want to try something along the lines of
$sql_stmt = "select * from database where 1=1";
#This is how I would do the match in Postgresql
#Check your DB docs for the correct syntax
my $matchstring = join ' OR ', map { "PlantDescription ~ ".$dbh->quot
+e($_)} @keywords;
$sql_stmt .= ' AND '.$matchstring if $matchstring;

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).
