I'm trying to learn how to use DBI and DBD::CSV. But, I can't get past the first page of the documentation. The example from the docs: 
"Creating a database handle....snip"

use DBI;
use DBI::CSV;

my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:CSV:");

[download]
which apparently is the default current directory. I have full privileges in the directory that I'm working in. 
"You can create and drop tables with commands like the following:"

$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE new_table (id 1, name new(64))");

[download]
Well, running this returns the following error: 
DBD::CSV::db do failed: Parse error near 1, name new(64)) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/DBD/File.pm line 164.

I'm running 5.6; could this be my problem? I don't see any references to incompatibility with 5.6.
