Hi Perl Monks

I'm trying to find a way to send an array to a stored sql procedure which interprets it as an cursor, i.e., example:

my @player_list = ('john','peter','mary','joseph');

#Prodedure
$sth = $dbh->prepare(q(BEGIN :ret := Proc.getPlayerIds(:in_player_list
+,:out_list_ids);END;)

$sth->bind_param_inout(':ret',\$ret, 1024);
$sth->bind_param(':in_player_list', \@player_list, 0, {ora_type => ORA
+_RSET}) or croak sth->errstr;
$sth->bind_param_inout('::out_list_ids', \$ids, 0, {ora_type => ORA_RS
+ET}) or croak sth->errstr;

[download]

However, if i do this, i get the following error:

Uncaught exception form user code: DBI bind_param: invalid number of arguments: got handle +4, expected + between 1 and 2

My question is, how do I convert my array to a cursor, or how do i send it directly to the procedure?

Can anyone help me? Thanks
