Hi All,

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my query.

This looks cool and is surely comprehensive. I plumped for:

$body =~ s/\'/\'\'/g;

though as we have a intermediate module to DBlib which does get, put and
new SQL and I couldn't figure out how to make it like dbproc. This module
was hanging around before I came here. 

I'll figure the last one out though, I'm sure, as I'm going to set up
Sybperl on this Linux box (we've got it set up on Sun kit for our servers) 
and write some middleware stuff for Apache. However, I'm trying to install
Sybperl-2.09 now and get this error when doing a 'make test':

The static ELF version of CTlib in /usr/local/sybase. The platform
is 2.0.32 Redhat Linux, i586.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Many TIA,
David.
