Can't comment on your main question, but on the secondary query-layout
topic, I find this works quite nicely:
    $query2  = qq/SELECT MTR_REFERENCE FROM ALLOCATED_METERS,METERS /;
    $query2 .= qq/WHERE ALM_MTR_ID = MTR_ID                         /;
    $query2 .= qq/AND ALM_LP_ID = (                                 /;
    $query2 .= qq/  SELECT LP_ID                                    /;
    $query2 .= qq/  FROM LOGGER_POINTS,ALLOCATED_METERS,METERS      /;
    $query2 .= qq/  WHERE LP_ID=ALM_LP_ID                           /;
    $query2 .= qq/  AND MTR_ID=ALM_MTR_ID                           /;
    $query2 .= qq/  AND MTR_REFERENCE = ? )                         /;

(In a mono font the right hand /;'s align, for neatness, but that's optional).

Nice thing doing it this way is that it does not confuse the editor's
auto indent.
