I recently saw a neat little os x app called Delicious Library, but I have ben unable to find anything comparable for linux. So I decided that it would be a good chance to learn some perl. I immediately ran into a problem, which I've reduced to the following example: 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=/root/testlib.db","","");

my @books=(
            {
                'ISBN' => '0596004788',
                'Title' => 'Learning Perl Objects, References, and Mod
+ules'
            },
            {
                'ISBN' => '0596001320',
                'Title' => 'Learning Perl, Third Edition'
            },
            {
                'ISBN' => '0596003137',
                'Title' => 'Perl Cookbook, Second Edition'
            },
        );

my $book_list = freeze(\@books);
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO BOOKS (BOOK) values (?)",undef,$book_list);

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( 'select * from BOOKS' );
$sth->execute();
my $book= $sth->fetchrow_array ;

my $new_list = thaw($book);

foreach(@{$new_list}){
    print "$_->{'ISBN'} $_->{'Title'}\n";
}

What I'm expecting is the output of: 
0596004788 Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules
0596001320 Learning Perl, Third Edition
0596003137 Perl Cookbook, Second Edition

[download]
Instead nothing happens. At first I though the database migh be mangleing the data, so I recreated the table with: CREATE TABLE BOOKS(BOOK BLOB);. Which if my understanding, and execution is correct should allow data to be stored exactly as it was inserted? What I'm trying to do is slightly beyond my current abilites, and I'm stumped. I'll never learn if I don't try. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
