Perl and MySQL

I'm trying to parse an input file and then take data from that file and enter it into a MySQL database. I'm separating the fields with tabs '\t' and ending the records with a newline '\n'. I'm using the LOAD DATA function (see the code snippet below).

# Load the data into the history table
my $sql_statmnt2 = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'$history_file\'
INTO TABLE History";
print "$sql_statmnt2 \n";
$sth2 = $dbh->prepare($sql_statmnt2);
$sth2->execute();
$sth2->finish();

However, I only get the first record not all of them. I've looked at the file with an editor that shows invisible characters and the tabs and newlines show up.

Thanks!

I figured out why it was not working.

Please close this thread.
