Stupidity.

As I mentioned, I had cut and pasted the code. The code which contained the actual error had been abbreviated in my original post and therefore wasn't shown. Here it is:

if ($numParams == 1)
{
    my $DBquery= $sth->execute($SearchPhrase);
}
elsif ($numParams == 2)
{
    my $DBquery= $sth->execute($SearchPhrase, $SearchSystem);
}
elsif ($numParams == 3)
{
    my $DBquery= $sth->execute($SearchPhrase, $begDate, $endDate);
}
elsif ($numParams == 3)
{
    my $DBquery= $sth->execute($SearchPhrase, $SearchSystem, $begDate,
+ $endDate);
}

If $numParams is 4, the execute statement will never be reached. By watching the trace, I was able to see that it wasn't happening, which pointed me to the last elsif.

I hate cutting and pasting code, because this always happens to me. However, I'm also aware that no one wants to dig through 500 lines of code when 25 would suffice.

My bad. Thanks again all!

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

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.
