Get an appropriate $db object with:

    my $db = ::database_exists_ref('tablename') or die 'Who ate my table?';

Then do your query like this:

    my $resultset = $db->query($sql};

Your strange-looking UPPERLowerCase table name may trip things up.
I seem to remember that it might, although I could be wrong.
That'd be easy to fix.

By the way, there's no need for a ';' at the end of your SQL statement.
