I am getting a mysql error near values(. Can anyone see why?

  $dbh->do("INSERT INTO storage (url, altavista, yahoo, msn, teoma, go
+ogle, alltheweb,Total, lastsearch, totalsearch) values($url, $altavis
+ta_results, $yahoo_results, $msn_results, $teoma_results, $google_res
+ults, $alltheweb_results, $total,$time, $total)") unless $dbh->do(UPD
+ATE storage SET (url = "$url", altavista = "$altavista_results", yaho
+o = "$yahoo_results", msn = "$msn_results", teoma = "$teoma_results",
+ google = "$google_results", alltheweb = "$alltheweb_results", total 
+= total +1, time="$time") > 0;

It was suggested that I use placeholders, and I normally do but I'm not sure how to apply them to a $dbh->do. I usually use three lines to insert mysql data, not one.

Originally there were quotes around all variables in the values() but I took them out thinking they were the problem.

• 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).
