param in a list context (as you have it) can return 0 or many parameters. (We've hit this subject here before if you search a bit.)

If you add scalar in front of each param, or do something like this instead, you'll be happier: 

$sth->execute(map scalar param($_), qw(cat itemid price des longdes si
+ze o1n o1o o2n o2o o3n o3o c1n c1v c2n c2v c3n c3v small large)) or d
+ie $dbh->errstr;

In fact, there's still far too much regularity in that code for my taste. You should abstract out the fields and mapping from form names to db columns.
