In addition to the useful advice of escaping your pipe character,
I would also advise you to code defensively. i.e. check your
data before passing it to the "execute" method.
my @player_rec = split /\|/;
if (scalar(@player_rec) == scalar(@fields))
{
if ($sth->execute(@player_rec)) {
print "Worked, cool";
}
else {
print "Didn't work, uncool, error is: $DBI::errstr";
}
}
else
{
warn "incorrect number of fields at line $.\n";
warn sprintf("expected: %d but found %d\n",scalar(@fields), scala
+r(@player_rec));
}

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).
