Thanks all for the helpful replies. :-)I've adjusted my code to:

my $sql = qq[
    UPDATE `myTable` 
    SET `va` = ?, `vb` = ? 
    WHERE `vc` = ?
];
while (my $record = <$input>)
{
    chomp $record;
    my ($val1, $val2, $val3) = (split(/\|/,$record))[1,3,5];
    $db->query($sql, $val1, $val2, $val3);
}

My question is: can we get the same 'prepare' effects as moritz mentioned in his post, since 'prepare' is done before the while loop..:)

BTW. thank you for your module, I've used it in most of my applications.

Best,
lihao
