Yeah, I think you have the right idea here, Bird. Better than mine, under the circumstances.

I'd probably rework it as follows, to get rid of all that extra leading whitespace:

    local $/ = ";\n";

    while ( <> )
    {
        s/^#.*$//mg;  # kill comments
        s/^\s+//; # kill all remaining leading whitespace
        print "Query: $_\n";
    }
