 $text =~s/\'/\\\'/gm;

I would normally have it $text =~ s/\'/\\'/g; (dunno quite what m does in
yours - the camel book says 'treat as multiple lines' but not sure what that
means! g normally works for me)

Looks like you're storing the literal string \' into the database, whereas
with mine it stays as ' once it has got through the SQL parser.

Am I missing something...?

In actual fact (I think), solely ' gets placed in the database because
the extra \' just escapes the sequence, 
and is ignored by (in this case) MySQL.

The m is just for good measure!
