Good point about binding parameters, and specifying their types.
The other thing that occurs to me is that one call to read is not guaranteed to read the whole file. My understanding is that do to that you have to call read (or sysread) repeatedly until it returns zero. eg:
open(BLOB, $blob_file) ||die "Cannot open the blob file\n";
binmode BLOB;
my $bytes = 0;
my $offset = 0;
my $buf;
while( $bytes != 0 )
{
$bytes = read(BLOB, $buf, 500000, $offset);
die "Error reading $blob_file $!" unless defined $bytes
}
close BLOB;
# $buf now contains all the bytes from $blob_file

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).
