Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at playing around with jZed's module DBD::AnyData so my understanding of "the way it works" may well be flawed.

That said, I was inspired to start playing around with DBD::AnyData after a short exchange between myself and jZed. So, I wrote a seriece of quick little ditties to get myself familiar with it and with this code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
######################
 
use DBI;
use strict;
 
 
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData(RaiseError=>1):')
    or die $DBI::errstr;
 
$dbh->func('CSV',[<DATA>],
           'XML','animals.xml',
           'ad_convert');
 
 
__END__
animal_id,animal
1,bear
2,lion
3,tiger

[download]
ran into an issue. Running that code it seems to go off into "the weeds" and never return. A zero length file "animals.xml" results. I expected the file, but I expected content.

Is my undertanding flawed? Is there an undocumented feature? Has Elvis invaded my laptop?
