When you use the select object method, DBIx::Simple uses SQL::Abstract to create the query and bind arguments.

When SQL::Abstract sees a construct like thing => [...] in a where clause it builds SQL like 'thing = ? OR thing = ? ...' and places the values in the bind arguments (for everything in the arrayref).

It may or may not help you but you could try thing => { -in => [...] } which tells it to build a more concise piece of SQL like 'thing IN (?,?...)' (but still places the values into the bind args).

my @data = $dbh->select(
  'table', '*', {
    ww => { -in => [@ww] },
    id => { -in => [@all_ids] },
  }
)->hashes;

NetWallah has also raised some valid points about GROUP BY and COUNT.
