If you use Perl DBI you should issue statements like
$dbh->do ('INSERT INTO table (field1, field2) VALUES (?,?)',
undef, $value1, $value2);

This binding takes care of quoting and escapes all characters that may
cause problems in the database backed (e.g. "that's" becomes "that''s"
etc.)

There is a DBI mailing list where you can find more info and support:
see <http://www.isc.org/dbi-lists.html>
