problem with geting data from db

[Marius Keraitis]

Hi,
I have problem when i trying to select data from table, which name i keep in
variable.
How could i do (this statement don't work: select * from $table_name)
$table_name i get from other .pl file in which table name i set with input form:
   <td><input type="submit" name="$id" value="Parodyti" </td>

in second file i do this: $table_name=param("$id");

There is the error?
