Help with CGI & SQL Statement

Hi,

Why can't I do this in a CGI script?

select distinct CY_CYCLE from IT_DEV_$queryRelease_TESTING_DB;

$queryRelease is set to 'Release 10' earlier in the code. Perl complains about this with:

Global symbol "$queryRelease_TESTING_DB" requires explicit package name at line 83

select distinct CY_CYCLE from IT_DEV_${queryRelease}_TESTING_DB;

Great! It works. Thanks fishmonger!
