I have a complicated problem to even explain, but I have posted a sample of the code to make my question clear or at least I am trying to.
All that I am trying to do is after I get a result back from a DB, I am storing this variable into an array:
push @array,$N_NUM;
And after sending this array to a sub routine. The sub will get all the values in this array and run another query to a DB, and for each value found it should return a FOUND or NOT FOUND back inside the same while loop where the push array was, because the rest of the code prints a lot of stuff to the browser. And doing it like in my code sample isn't working at all.
Would be very nice if I could get some feed back on it,
Thank you all!

Here is the sample code for my problem:

#More code is here, this is just to explain my problem...
$sth->execute() || die $sth->errstr;
while (my $pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref){
$N_NUM = &cleaner ($pointer->{'number'});

push @array,$N_NUM; 
&total(@array);

#Print HTML 
print "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpaddin
+g=\"0\">
              <tr>
                <td width=\"15\">&nbsp;</td>
                <td class=\"textgreyb\">Products</td>";
# My problem is here cause I can only get the value of this varialbe $
+results when I have send the array @array to the SUB TOTAL           
+    
&total; 
print "                <td class=\"textgreyb\">$results</td>
              </tr>";
              
} End while



sub total
{

my $all_info = shift (@_); # gets values passed by @array, it has all 
+the Numbers found on DB

my @info = split/ /,"$all_info";

# It checks a DB table and if the number is found here it should send 
+back a value of "FOUND" or "NOT FOUND"

code would go here getting the values in here is not a problem...

ok, let say that my final result is;

my $results="FOUND";

return;


}
