Must be something in the code then.  I’ll try it again and see if it 
still happens.  If so, I’ll make sure to mention the error instead of just 
saying “it doesn’t work”. ;)  That’s what I get for letting too much time pass 
before asking a question.

Thanks,
Frank

So far, I've only had trouble starting identifiers with an at sign,
which mysql uses to mark variables.


,
| mysql> create database `@vendor`;
| Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
| 
| mysql> drop database `@vendor`;
| Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

`


Nonetheless, don't do stupid things like this.

"Didn't work" is an error ;)

It is not a reserved word of Perl. No idea about MySQL.
