SPUG: perl/psql error

[Umar Cheema]

ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of 
transaction block

Has anyone seen this error before?

I am using Perl/DBI with PostgreSQL and it seems like if psql encounters 
an error (syntax or even a constraint), it doesn't allow any other 
commands/statements to be executed after that?

I am calling finish() and disconnect() appropriately on statement handles 
and dbh object. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Umar
