You should not have to start up a second DBI connection. All that should be required is as follows:
# set DB and SQL values as necessary use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect "$DB_SERVER:$DB_NAME;$DB_HOST") or die "Can't conn +ect to $DB_NAME, error "; $sth = $ccmd_auth::dbh->prepare($sql) or die "Can't prepare $sql: $dbh +->errstr\n"; $sth->execute; $sth->finish;

After the $sth is 'finished', you should be able to prepare and use $sth again in other queries.

One thing I noticed in your code is that you refer to a $dbh2 when you set up your second $sth. Is this for a connection to a second database? Otherwise it should use the same $dbh that was originally set up. This may be what is causing your problem.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
