Hi All,
 
I'm running a Perl statement to fetch some data from a database.
 
Lets assume that I want to pull out some data whose description starts with "ST:"
 
I'm passing description as one of my parameter in my Perl code. I want to assign a value to the description such that It pulls out all the data starting with "ST:"
 
I tried using the following:
 
$description == 'ST:' but it was looking for the exact text.
 
I tried using some wildcards but it did not support.
 
can any one help me with a code to find out to pull all the rows whose description starts with ST:?
 
Thanks for your help.
