Variable number of parameters in perl function

hello,

I hope you can help me a little,
Iā€™m using DBD::mysql.
My regular procedure for query execution is:

______________________________________________________________
my $str= ā€œ?,?,?,,,ā€;
$q=$dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO $table VALUES($str)")
or die "Couldn't prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr;

$q->execute($args1[0],$args1[1],$args1[2],ā€¦)
or die "Couldn't execute statement: " . $q->errstr;
________________________________________________________________

THE PROBLEM:
If I want to change the number of arguments sent to execute(), I must change the source code.
I would like to be able to change it on run-time with something like:


______________________________________________________________
$q->execute(f(@args))
or die "Couldn't execute statement: " . $q->errstr;
_____________________________________________________________

where f() formats the input to the function, and $#args can be in variable size.
Is there any perl function that does it ?

thanks
A
