Thanks for the very quick reply! The sqls, could hold the same variable ($test_date) multiple places because there are multiple dates in the table for various purposes. The sqls are not identical in the number of variables. Some have multiple $test_date some just one. Also the order the variables in the sqls could differ from one sql to the other, so a single set of $sth->execute($schema,$test_date) would not work.
But in this case, forget about the sqls and the database connection. The sample code I submitted does not deal with the database. I just created a quick and dirty code because I was troubleshooting why my sqls errored out. Then I found out that the actual variables in the sqls don't interpolate the variable value, so I wrote up something quickly to pinpoint the issue - with no DB connection.
So again, if I just read in a text file which have some perl variables, how can I have the text read in, take on the value of the variable that I defined in the program that reads in the text? - I guess is a better definition of the issue I am facing.

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).
