I've read write-ups What are placeholders in DBI, and why would I want to use them?. My code is somewhat different than what the write-up suggest. How would I use DBI placholders with my code:
$sql = <<END_SQL;

select comp_name from company where comp_name = '$hash{$comp_id}'

END_SQL

$query = &execsql($sql);

sub execsql {
    my ($sql);
    ($sql) = @_;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || &error('prep_sql', $0);
    $sth->execute || &error('sql', $0);
    $dbh->commit;
    return $sth;
    print "SQL: $sql\n";
}
