I think the problem is with your $bighash{$day}{$aoa} lookup. Your $aoa is set by a side effect and you are using array ref to be the key ... yuk.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -w

use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my %days;
@days{0..6} = qw / Sunday Monday Tuesday Wesnesday Thursday Friday Sat
+urday /;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:tapebot:lid42','','')
        or die "cannot connect to DB\n" . DBI->errstr;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( qq{
        SELECT last,keyno,btype
        FROM weekly
        WHERE btype = ?
        AND day = ?
        ORDER by keyno
        });

my $full = "F";
my %bighash = ();

foreach my $day (sort keys %days) {
    $bighash{$day} = get_db_entries($sth, $full, $day);
}

# your other stuff...
my $nrows_max;
my $i = "2";
$day = '5';
$i = '0';
print "\nnrows: ${ $bighash{$day}->{nrows} }\n";
print "\nnfields: ${ $bighash{$day}->{nfields} }\n";
print "aoa:  ${ $bighash{$day}->{aoa}->[$i]->[2] } after\n";

$dbh->disconnect;

sub get_db_entries {
    my ($sth, $full, $day) = @_;
    my $nrows = $sth->execute($full, $day)
        or die "Can't execute statement: " . $dbh->errstr;
    my %data;
    $data{aoa} = $sth->fetchall_arrayref();
    $data{nrows} = $nrows;
    $data{nfields} = $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS};
    return \%data;
}
