You didn't say what errors you get, but from your code it looks like you glue several values together, and treat that as a single argument. That will lead the db to look for the whole string in each row. You need to have a placeholder for each value of argument to IN(), then feed your array as-is to the execute method. You could make an $sth for too many placeholders, and pad the arguments with undef. That would be suitable for a non-null column.
my $plch = join ', ', ('?') x @values;
my $sql = <<END_SQL;
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM some_table
WHERE some_column IN ( $pclh )
END_SQL
my $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached($sql) || die;
$sth->execute(@values) || die;
while ($sth->fetch) {
# Do stuff
}
$sth->finish || die;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
