Cant delete on only one single instance of a DBIC object

Question

I can delete table entries with this code:

foreach my $id (@$idarray) { #idarray is an array reference
$c->model('My::DB')->find($id)->delete;
}

That above code only works when @$idarray holds more than one value, but it fails when only 1 value is contained. Some ideas guys?

The error when i only delete 1 entry is:

Can't use string ("61") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use

61 there is just an example. Represents the $id

sample idarray values: $idarray = [61, 1, 2, 3];

Answer 1

The error message says that value 61 are used as array refernce, that means in case of single value, I think $idarray contains only one value, not array refernce, meaning that try to do it like

if( ref $idarray eq 'ARRAY') {
    foreach my $id (@$idarray) { #idarray is an array reference
    $c->model('My::DB')->find($id)->delete;
} else{
    $c->model('My::DB')->find( $idarray )->delete;
}
