I recommend using explicit column names instead of '*'. If someone changes
the column order on you it could ruin the rest of your processing.
That's what fetchrow_hashref() is for. Asterisks are

dates and date formatting to me are the trickiest things to deal with in
Oracle.
I think that there are 2 levels of settings. The main one is the language

Hmmm, I don't know if I agree with the %$date is a reference sentiment:
$ cat t.pl
$d = 7-Aug;
print %$d%;
print \n;
$ perl t.pl
%7-Aug%
$
(I first did this with 'perl -e', bash needs too many backslashes to make
it readable.)
Now, if I try this, I find I can't get it to work:

Since you mention sqlplus
oh wait. 7-Aug won't work on a date in oracle. Oracle defaults to upper
caseing everything so a like on %7-Aug% will not match 07-AUG-02 due
to the case difference. Try uppering the data you are testing for. do an
'%' || upper($date) || '%' and see what that does for you.

Since you mention sqlplus, I assume you are using Oracle... One
possibility is that the NLS_DATE_FORMAT (the default format for dates)
differs between your sqlplus and DBI sessions.
This is interesting. I did not know NLS_DATE_FORMAT could different between
tools used to query the data. For

As a follow-up, I noticed that setting the nls_lang
environmental variable causes the dates to be displayed
differently. Doesn't make any sense to me.
You can force the date format with something like this
select
COUNTRY_ISO3_C,ACCT_NAME_N,LANG_ISO_C,to_char
If I do it from DBI I get:
11/14/2002 10:11:41 AM
what is the NLS_DATE_FORMAT in your initSID.ora?
I assume the sqlplus is doing an alter session for some reason.
I know toad by default does not do an alter session.
