perl DBI question

[Malcolm <mjhlists-phl-pm@liminalflux.net>]

Greetings all,

I've been having a problem with the 'quote' function in DBI that I still 
haven't been able to resolve, so I thought I'd ask in case I'm missing 
something obvious.

The code in question looks something like:

my $dbh =DBI->connect( 'dbi:mysql:database=$db', $user, $passwd);
my $hash = {'some'=>'data'};
my $quoted = $dbh->quote($hash->{'some'});

at which point $quoted is undefined.

However:

my $dbh =DBI->connect( 'dbi:mysql:database=$db', $user, $passwd);
my $hash = {'some'=>'data'};
my $temp = $hash->{'some'};
my $quoted = $dbh->quote($temp);

results in $quoted having the correct value ('data');


(This is all running under Mason/apache/mod_perl, in case it makes any 
difference).

Any ideas?
