in thread Passing a perl variable in SQL AND statement

Based on what the error message is complaining about, I'd recommend that you try to remove the semi-colon at the end of the SQL statement.

Also, I don't know where your variable will be getting it's values from, but you might want to check out Little Bobby Tables for info about preventing SQL injection issues.
