That was a hard bug to find! ;)

You are connecting twice - remove the second one and change the first to: 

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
   "DBI:CSV:f_dir=/export/home/devtools;csv_eol=\n;csv_sep_char=!;",
   {RaiseError=>1},
);

The important part is setting csv_eol to a newline. The RaiseError part is not necessary, but it prevents you from having to check each and every DB transaction - so you can change this: 
$sth->execute() or die "Cannot execute: " . $sth->errstr();

to simply this: 
$sth->execute();

And thanks, because your code showed me how to use a csv file with a 'dot extension' (that is, "foo.csv"). I was under the impression that you could not do that. Oh, and: 
use strict; # please ;)
use DBI;
use File::Basename;

my $dir   = '.';
my $file  = 'simple.csv';
my $table = (fileparse($file,'.csv'))[0]; 
my $cols  = [qw(foo bar baz)];
my $sep   = ':';

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
   "DBI:CSV:f_dir=$dir;csv_eol=\n;csv_sep_char=$sep;",
   {RaiseError=>1},
);

$dbh->{csv_tables}->{$table} = { 
   file      => $file,
   col_names => $cols,
};

is a MRWTDI (more robust way to do it).
