Hi There,
I am working on a query that will dynamiclly use an array.  I want to 
+put the process into a while loop and pass one value at a time to the
+ where clause.  I have tried this a couple of ways with placeholders.
+  For some reason the process only returns the first index of the arr
+ay.  As the while loop iterates through the index, I print out the cu
+rrent array index and it works.  I even pass the array value to the e
+mail / attachment and it works.  It seems like the prepare statement,
+ value, and placeholder get saved once.  When the test reports are se
+nt out...only the first report as data from the first array index.  I
+s there a way to change this....Can I use the below process and put i
+t into a while loop?  Does Perl allow this?  Thanks in advance....  I
+ am at home...and I forgot my login...my user name is cocl04...or ema
+il me at cory.clay@rentacenter.com or cocl04@yahoo.com...Please help.
+..I have been working on this for day...and I came across this postin
+g tonight...Thanks...

i.e.....

my $i = 0;

while (loop...)}
# assume that $dbh is ready...

my $value = $places[$i];

my $query = <<ENDSQL;
SELECT c_mail, c_first, c_last
FROM tblClient, tblGroup, tblRegion
WHERE tblGroup.g_name = 'motel'
AND tblRegion.r_name =
ENDSQL

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $query . ' (' . join(',',map{'?'} $value) . 
+')' );

$sth->execute( $value );
$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;
$i++;
}
