underscore _ causing compilation error
Hi Alex,

I'm working on getting links sql to work with multiple databases and have run into this problem where the underscore character is causing compilation errors. Here's an example of code that works and of code that doesn't. Notice the hyphen and the underscore.
This code is taken from sub html_navigation in Admin_HTML.pm

This Works
a href="editor.cgi?db=$DATABASE-Validate"

Doesn't Work (causes compilation errors)
a href="editor.cgi?db=$DATABASE_Validate"

Could you explain why this is and how to get around it.

Thanks,

Kyle
