Louis, Perhaps you could attempt to explain, politely this time, what you meant by the following.

"::someText"; What exactly do you believe adding the double quotes does to alter the string value stored in $arg1? How is it any different from the following: $arg1 = $someVariable . "::someText"; Please spare us the rudeness while you're at it and just stick to the technical issues. -Will -----Original Message----- From: Louis Gonzales [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday 23 February 2006 15:47 To: Christian Stalp Cc: dbi-users@perl.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Calling a PostgreSQL function via DBI And again, in now a third attempt to clarify to Will, nowhere did I state that double quoting around a variable in PERL, is going to produce a string with quote marks????????? Please Will, pay attention to what I've written/write and don't paraphrase/quote me, because you are taking everything I write, out of context and adding your own invalid ideas to them. - - - - - - - Appended by Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. - - - - - - - This e-mail and any attachments may contain information which is confidential, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected by law.
