Can you tell me the URL in the address bar of the page that you 
entered this on? For extra help, can you tell me the URL of the next 
page to appear, as soon as you clicked the send button? My first look 
for this didn't find the problem I was expecting.

Really, qq() shouldn't be used. All DBI database calls should be done 
by preparing a statement with ? placeholders and then using execute to 
fill in the variables. I've not spotted too many cases of other things 
in koha, but I've not been looking too hard yet.

I think far more common in koha is the SQL phrase:
  INSERT INTO tablename VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)
which causes problems if the order or numbers of the columns in 
tablename changes. Sometimes the name of the table can be a reserved 
word in future versions of MySQL too. I think that developers should 
use
  INSERT INTO "tablename" ("column1","column2") VALUES (?,?)
instead but ICBW.
