Apart from the $sth already explained by others, there is one more 
problem with this code. It seems you already found it as it is not 
present in the examples you give in the later posts, but I'd like to 
point it out anyway.

You cannot use singlequotes around the $values[x] in the ->execute() 
call. You'd insert not the values in the @values array, but the 
literal dollar, "values", opening square brace, one and closing 
brace. Try

 @values = (1,2,3,4);
 print $values[1], "\n";
 print '$values[1]', "\n";

Just for reference, you should not use doublequotes around them 
either:

 $dbh->execute("$values[0]", "$values[1]", "$values[2]",
   "$values[3]");

While this would work (in this case) it forces perl to make copies of 
the values and possibly also an unnecessary number->string 
conversion. I only mention this because I see things like this quite 
often.
