RE: Calling a PostgreSQL function via DBI

Louis, I'm sure the construct you give below has no effect in Perl.
"$someVariable" is identical to $someVariable.

Perhaps what you meant was
$arg1 = $dbh->quote( $someVariable ) . "::someText";

-Will

As for your select statement with the $arg1, ..., $argN, the
bind_param() function will work on those arguments too, I'd just suggest
to use the process of double quoting your string concatenation
assignments upfront:

$arg1 = "$someVariable" . "::someText";
