Because your syntax is wrong. If you want to use INSERT .. SELECT
statement, please, look at the manual for correct syntax:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/N/INSERT_SELECT.html
d> INSERT INTO mytable (column0, column1, column2, column3, column4) values
d> ($value0, (SELECT id from othertable where login='$ENV{REMOTE_USER}'),
d> $value2, $value3, $value4)";
d> the error i'm getting says that there's an error in my sql syntax near
d> 'select id from othertable...'
d> i'm user perl with
dbi.pm if that's any help.
