Nevermind. I figured it out. It seems that in the routine that contained the eval changed the value of $db_use to $db_user due to my bad typing. Which made it seem like the eval was the problem when it wasn't. So it couldn't prepare the statement because that table didn't exist in the database $db_user ( which doesn't exist ) while it did exist in the database $db_use.
Welp I guess that genius statis will have to wait even longer. Thanks for being my sounding board. Sometimes you can work problems out just by talking to someone about them. I guess that makes all of you perl pychologosts! Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
