Hi Monks! I am trying to evaluate the elements in the array here to check if they are not in the db, but there is something not working in my code, can someone tell me what its wrong here? 
foreach $num_doc(@num_from_doc) {

# Now retrieve data from the table.

    $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT num FROM num_table WHERE num <> ?'); 
+   
    
    $sth->execute($num_doc);   

my $num_in_db = $sth->fetchrow_array();

print "**This $num_doc is not in the DataBase<br>";
print "Here is what I found: $num_in_db<br>";
}
