I know this is possible a silly question but my head is spinning now due to trying top 
get my head round unix, perl and MySQL at the same time to get my database up and 
working.

I am trying to put a search together   but am stuck at the correct 
 where forenames like 'char%' and year = '1967'

if($success) {
print "<H1>Thank you $data_to_input->{firstname}!</H1><P>";
print "I inserted this query: <I>$sql_query</I>";
$returned_table=$DB->query(" select year, surname, forenames, mothers_maiden_name from 
FRC_Births where forenames like '$data_to_input->{firstname}%' and year ='1854' order 
by id "); 


It's ok without the and year =   part  or  without the and forenames part.

Is it possible to put  like and = in the same statement,  I'll understand if anyone 
thinks I should just go bed and try again tomorrow, 19 hrs at this PC is starting to 
tell.

I have tried a few diffrent ways but to no avail.
