Maybe you should test the connection and other workings first, something like: 
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:CSV:csv_eol=\n;csv_sep_char=\~") or die $D
+BI::errstr; 

$dbh->{'RaiseError'} = 1;
$@ = '';

eval {

    $dbh->{'csv_tables'}->{'JPDObj'} = {'file' => 'data/objectives-cqd
+c.txt','col_names' => ["Obj","PosNbr","Year","Div","AVP","Dept","SDes
+cr","Major","Methods","Results","Accompl","JanUp","LDescr","Changes",
+"Chars","Goals","Budget","CFObj"]};

    my $query = "SELECT * FROM JPDObj";
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
    $sth->execute();                                              
    while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {  
        for my $k (keys %$row) {
            print qq|$k: $row->{$k}\n|;
        }
    }
};
$@ and die "SQL database error: $@";
