Yep, I've been all over the net looking for this issue. I am not
doing anything wrong -- the "invalid string" is the darn "?"!!!
DBD::Oracle::db prepare failed: ORA-00911: invalid character

You can see the error complaining about the question mark above.
There is a second question mark in the second select statement.

Yes, and they are.

I'll have to look into that. But recall this: I am not getting
to the execute() statement. The above error is on the prepare()
statment. This is so very confusing to me...

And you can see from the above that the question mark is back
in the mix.

Thanks. :-)

Okay, I'll try that next.
