Re: Seeking a non-quoted DBI placeholder

No, but you can always achieve the effect if you build the SQL query up as a string, e.g.

my $foo = 'bar';

my $sql = qq{SELECT * FROM table_name where $foo = ?};
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
#...
$sth->execute($foo);

Nice side effect: you have the SQL statement handy for debugging.
