Hi, I have tried to write the edit script like Poj did but its throwing errors and I have no clue how to fix them : Here is the scrip : 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; #remove for prod
use DBI;

# get form parameters
my $q = new CGI;
my $action = $q->param('go');
my $empid  = $q->param('empid');

my $dbh = dbh(); # connect to db
$dbh->do("SET search_path to northwind") or die;

# If the confirm form was properly submitted, update the record
my $msg;
# change validation to suit
if ( ($action eq "UPDATE") && ($empid =~ /\d+/)) {
  my $sql = qq!UPDATE 
                   "Employees" 
                SET
                   "LastName"              = "." \'$input{lastname}\',
+ 
                   "FirstName"             = "." \'$input{firstname}\'

Its complaining on $input and I don't know what to do, this format of script that I copied from Poj's style is much easier for you monks to review, I hope. Many thank for your help in advance. Rgds Terry

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.
