Today around 4:23pm, Nicholson, Dale hammered out this masterpiece: : Does anyone have a quick perl function to "tickify" SQL blocks for loading : into an Oracle database? I'm not a big Oracle guy and unless I'm off my rocker, the Oracle driver should have quote() in it. my $text = "hello, what's the weather like?"; $text = $dbh->quote( $text ); print $text; # hello, what\'s the weather like? -- print(join(' ', qw(Casey R. Tweten)));my $sig={mail=>'crt@kiski.net',site=> 'http://home.kiski.net/~crt'};print "\n",'.'x(length($sig->{site})+6),"\n"; print map{$_.': '.$sig->{$_}."\n"}sort{$sig->{$a}cmp$sig->{$b}}keys%{$sig}; my $VERSION = '0.01'; #'patched' by Jerrad Pierce <belg4mit at MIT dot EDU> ==== Want to unsubscribe from Fun With Perl?
