This is correct. In fact, the size of args is the right number of elements. Look at the output I placed. @args has 4 elements which are suppose to be the elements I am trying to send to execute(). However, it was pointed out to me (and of course this was just an oversight of mine) that execute sees only one bind...the array. Of course, like I said, I tried to trick execute with a join(',',@args) but that didn't work For the record, I did try the join() before trying to send the array by itself since it made sense to me that execute() needed separate args. I just tried sending the list by itself as a measure of troubleshooting, just in case.

I am ultimately going to have to find a different way to pass these statements to DBI. I am reading the article suggested by aufrank and taking screamingeagle's advice on some things as well.
