Yeah, the file is there & has the content I posted. I even just changed the script to attempt an open on the file, and return an error if it wasn't available: 
#!c:/apache/perl/bin/perl.exe -wT
  
BEGIN {
      $| = 1;
      open (STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
      print qq~Content-type: text/html\n\n~;
}

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

my $foo = new CGI;
print $foo->header;

# Connect to the database, (the directory containing our csv file(s))
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:f_dir=.;csv_eol=\n;");

my $content = '';
open (FILE,"c:/apache/htdocs/test2.csv") || die "unable to open file";
while (<FILE>) {
    print $_;
}
close(FILE);

# Associate our csv file with the table name 'test2'
$dbh->{'csv_tables'}->{'test2'} = { 'file' => 'c:/apache/htdocs/test2.
+csv'};

# Output the name and contact field from each row
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM test2 WHERE name LIKE 'G%'");
$sth->execute() or die "Can't execute the query: $sth->errstr";
while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
    print("name = ", $row->{'Name'}, "  contact = ", $row->{'Contact'}
+. "\n");
}
$sth->finish();

The file opens fine, it prints to the browser fine, but then is followed by the error about the missing first line etc.
*shrug*
Tackled this from a few different angles. Really wanted to use DBD::CSV vs. TEXT::CSV so that I would be able to do what I want with the data a LOT more efficiently since it's a script that I'm going to setup to run frequently on my server.
I may just end up coding it with TEXT::CSV and then recode it if I ever get DBD::CSV working :-|

Thx for the help all the same. I appreciate it!
