Hello,

I've been working on a script to store large amount of text in a MySQL database under perl. I'm using the DBI module.

Under PHP3 there a function called addslashes for adding escapecode.

How does this work with perl and DBI ?

Take care!

Do you really need to escape these items?

How are you going about it so far? If you place the whole line that you want to add to the database in a variable it shouldn't need escaping?!

Show us what you have got so far.

Use DBI's quote() function. See perldoc DBI for more.
