Oh the cake....yes, I know it's a lie, but it is just so tasty! :`(
Yes, $columns and $values are strings containing comma separated column names and column values I wish to insert into Pg.

I tried these, none of them work: 

$sth->execute(@{$columns},@{$values});
$sth->execute(@columns,@values);
$sth->execute(\@columns,\@values);

I thought $sth->execute($columns,$values); would be closer to passing the flat comma separated string Pg needs.

What is just not clear in the DBD::Pg cpan documentation is how many arguments $sth->execute(); expects or can take, and I can't see a really clear/obvious example of where a variable is used. Most instances just show a hard-coded value...not very helpful.
