I couldn't resist to run my famous emacs macro on a buffer with your code:


$sth = $dbh->prepare("select * from table order by mid");
$sth->execute();

while ( my $info = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
    my $count = 0;
    my $mid   = $$info{'mid'};
    chomp($mid);
    my $num = 0;
    if ( $mid =~ /^[0-9]+$/ ) {
        print fh "$mid is a number\n";
        $num = 1;    # If so, change value
    }
    else {
        print fh "$mid is a string\n";
    }
    print "$mid - \$num = $num\n" if ( $debug > 0 );
    for my $id (@ldap) {
        chomp($id);
        if ( $num == 1 ) {
            print fh "$mid - $id - Equating as numbers.\n";
            last if ( $count > 15 );
            if ( $mid == $id ) {
                if ( $$info{'type'} ne 'NA' ) {
                    splice @ldap, $count, 1;
                    last;
                }
            }
        }
        else {
            print fh "$mid - $id - Equating as strings.\n";
            last if ( $count > 15 );
            if ( $mid eq $id ) {
                if ( $$info{'type'} ne 'NA' ) {
                    splice @ldap, $count, 1;
                    last;
                }
            }
        }
        $count++;
    }
}
$sth->finish;
