Am I asking too much????

[Mark Martin]

This is DBI/Placeholder question. I'm throwing two files into hash arrays
and comparing their content for matches on one(comma seperated)field. If I
find a match I need to fulfill one more condition before I throw the
results back to a table :

my $sth1 = $dbh1->prepare("INSERT INTO DIFFAMNTS VALUES (?,?)")
.....
.....

while (<FILE1>){
                chomp;     
                $file2count++;

                 ($type,$cheque,$amount,$remark) = split(/,/);

                 if ($cheques{$cheque}){ #If cheque already in FILE2 do necessary
                        $duplicates++;
                        
                        if ((($amounts{$cheque}) - $amount) != 0) {

                                $sth1->execute(split/,/) 
                                }
                 } else {
                        $count++;
                        print DIFFS2 "$_\n";    # JDE File Format
                }
                }
close (FILE1);

However the $sth1->execute(split/,/) is giving me all the fields from the
original file (when I only want 2) and I get the following error :

execute called with 8 bind variables when 2 are needed at
./matchingcheques3.pl line 123,<FILE1> chunk 7.
