Hi I don't understand your loop syntax but assuming you have your list in @array as shown this works fine: 

my @array = (10,15,20);
my $where_list = '';

foreach my $index (0..$#array) {
    $where_list .= ($index) ? "and\n" : "where\n";
    $where_list .= "   company_id='$array[$index]'\n";
}

$sql = <<END_SQL;

select 
   comp_name
from
   companies
$where_list

END_SQL

print $sql;

We just loop over the array assigning the index to $index. We build up out $where_list. When $index == 0 we add 'where' otherwise we add 'and'. We then add the company_id bit. Finally we just interpolate the $where_list into your $sql herepage

Hope this helps.

BTW Do you really mean 'and' or should it be 'or'?

cheers
