Perl query error

Hello,
I'm trying to use a Perl script to export a query result to a text file.
The result should have no header or footer information. However, when I
run the script, I get a message: DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:
parser: parse error at or near "/" at ./mdcupc.pl line 189.

Here's the section where the error occurs:

# Send command to not print header or footer information
my $query = $dbh->prepare("\t")
or die "Cannot prepare SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
$query->execute ;

# Send command to not print header or footer information
$query = $dbh->prepare("select * from upc_export_v \g
/home/ftp/pub/Incoming/postgres/ozupc.txt;")
or die "Cannot prepare SQL statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
$query->execute ;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
