$dbh->quote(...) where does this module come from??? I need to find the package

[Relative0]

Hello,

I am running Perl/CGI scripts and I keep getting an error for the $dbh->quote(...) function. The error looks as such:

Can't call method "quote" on an undefined value at anindex.cgi line 1920.

Furthermore it says:

[Thu May 3 15:38:04 2007] anindex.cgi: Can't call method "quote" on an undefined value at anindex.cgi line 1920.
Compilation failed in require at anindex.cgi line 874.

if ($sc_shall_i_log_errors eq "yes")
{
$file = $dbh->quote($file); #1920


foreach $require_file (@require_files)
{
if (-e "$require_file" && -r "$require_file") { #874
require "$require_file";

I believe this tells me that I do not have the Module which contains the quote() method installed. Does this sound like it might be the case? If it is the case well I don't know where to find this quote function. What does it come with? I have seen some references to Ruby and PEAR. Might this be a Method in those? I have looked some and could not find definitions for all of the Methods so I don't know. Please let me know if you might be familiar with this method. If it is not where might it be?

Thanks Kindly,

Brian

You haven't shown enough of the script to say for sure, but it's a very good bet that the quote method it's referring to is from the DBI module. The error message is telling you that the $dbh database handle isn't defined.

Also, that's a clunky method for handing the require statements.
