It's probably because you're not correctly quoting your values. I suspect that
the ones which fail contain single quotes in one or more of the values.
Assuming you're using the DBI, do one of the following, preferably the first
one:

1.
$dbh->do(q(
insert into env_info
(username,useremail,servicelevel,accountmanager,company)
values(?,?,?,?,?)
),{},@env_array{qw(User UserEmail ServiceLevel AccountManager Company)});
2.
my($uname,$email,$level,$mgr,$company)=map $dbh->quote($_),
@env_array{qw(User UserEmail ServiceLevel AccountManager Company)};
$dbh->do(qq(
insert into env_info
(username,useremail,servicelevel,accountmanager,company)
values($uname,$email,$level,$mgr,$company)
));
