Use SQL::Abstract to write extendable code that builds SQL. This is the tool DBIx::Class uses, so it gets lots of support:

$ cat 1031647.pl 
use warnings;
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;

use SQL::Abstract;
my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new;

my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->select(
  'table',                          # table name
  [ 'name' ],                       # fields
  {
    id => { -in => [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] } # the ids
  },
  [ 'id' ]                          # order by
);

print Data::Dumper->Dump(
  [ $stmt, \@bind ],   
  [ qw( stmt bind ) ],
);

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $stmt );
$sth->execute( @bind );

$ perl 1031647.pl
$stmt = 'SELECT name FROM table WHERE ( id IN ( ?, ?, ?, ? ) ) ORDER B
+Y id';
$bind = [
          1,
          2,
          3,
          4
        ];
