Two things: 1. If you always want to die on failure it is easier and safer to say my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, $user, $pass, { RaiserError => 1 } ) or die DBI->errstr; This will cause the DBI to die with DBI->errstr for any errors. 2. If you are certain that @values has four values in it you can just say $sth->execute(@values); If you want to limit it to a specific subset of @values then use a slice*. $sth->execute(@values[0 .. 3]); * see perldoc perldata Entire arrays (and slices of arrays and hashes) are denoted by '@', which works much like the word "these" or "those" does in English, in that it indicates multiple values are expected. @days # ($days[0], $days[1],... $days[n]) @days[3,4,5] # same as ($days[3],$days[4],$days[5]) @days{'a','c'} # same as ($days{'a'},$days{'c'}) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
