Ok, but that behaviour is probably specific to DBD::MySQL, and can't be relied upon if you change to another DBD... I would use the more portable method (maybe even making it a sub to simplify code), but that's up to you. BTW, you could also check out one of the many DBI abstraction modules if you want to remove a level of complexity from your code... I'm using Class::DBI lately, and I find it nice. Makes all the DB interaction higher level, and the resulting code is cleaner (IMHO of course).
