Re: MCDE and DBD::ODBC issues

my ( $data_source, $database, $port, $user_id, $password ) = qw( "PIKA
+CHU\NetSDK", "HarvestDay", "127.0.0.1:2433", "HarvestReader", "reader
+" );

doesn't produce what you are expecting...

print them out, you'll see embedded quotes and with some, a comma.

like $database, it equals:

"HarvestDay",

this would likely explain "invalid string" good luck!

If you make something idiot-proof, eventually someone will make a better idiot.
I am that better idiot.
