I think you really want to split this up into a sequence of 2 do method calls:
eval {
$dbh->do(q{drop table if exists newtable});
};
$dbh->do(q{create table newtable select t.time, t.name, t.last, t.comp
+any, t.wife from t join p on t.wife = p.wife and t.company = p.compan
+y'});
$dbh->disconnect;
Although it is possible with some DBI::DBDs to batch up statements separated with ';' it is not portable and not guaranteed to work.
Of course, this is just advice and not necessarily the solution to the problem since you did not say what error you were getting doing it your way.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
