Hi Tim,

I'm sorry if this is not the correct way to do this but I just wanted 
to report something that is worrying me.

Please let me know what I must do if this is not the correct way to 
report this problem.

I'm on an ENSIM system and my DB name is called rocteur_com-house

I set $db_name to rocteur_com-house then I run this: (I copied parts of 
the script the MySQL book by Paul DuBois, the original)

        # retrieve reference to single-column array of table names
        my $ary_ref = $dbh->selectcol_arrayref (qq{ SHOW TABLES FROM 
$db_name });

I get this error:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; 
lang="en-US"><head><title>rocteur_com-house Database Browser</title>
DBD::mysql::db selectcol_arrayref failed: You have an error in your SQL 
syntax near '-house ' at line 1 at ./db_browse.pl line 86.
</head><body bgcolor="white"><h1>rocteur_com-house Database 
Browser</h1><p>Select a table by clicking on its name:</p>

I've tried to escape the _ and the - with no success..

So it seems that DBI spits with this function .. Apart from that every 
thing seems to be working OK..

I've tried on:

perl -MCGI -e 'print "CGI.pm version $CGI::VERSION\n";'

CGI.pm version 2.752

and CGI.pm version 3.00

Again I apologize if this is NOT the correct way to report a problem.

Best Regards,

Jerry
