[ic] SQL Query in UserTag

Hi!

I'm trying to create a UserTag that does a field value lookup from an
arbitrary table. The UserTag will be called from CommonAdjust as part of the
pricing method.

Here's the code I have.

UserTag calc_price Order
UserTag calc_price Routine <<EOR
sub {
  my $dbh = $Sql{framestyles};
  my $sql_query = "SELECT price FROM framestyles WHERE sku = 9848";
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql_query) or return error_message("Error...");
  my $rc = $sth->execute() or return HTML("Error...");

  return 0;
}
EOR


Ignore the return value for now. Simply trying to execute the query, I get
the following error message:

Runtime error: Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at (eval
227) line 5.

Any idea why is this happening?

Thanks,
Ben
