If your query requires one parameter, and you are passing an array, it's correct that only the first is inserted.

What you need is to prepare once aand execute many times.

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "INSERT INTO data_profile (file) VALUES (?)")
+;
for (@array) {
    $sth->execute($_);
}

Alternatively, you can create a multiple insert query.

# assume that @array contains qw(abc def ghi);
my $query = 'INSERT INTO data_profile (file) VALUES ';
$query .= join(',', map {'(?)'} @array);

# now $query will be 'INSERT INTO data_profile (file) VALUES (?),(?),(
+?)'
$dbh->do($query, @array);
