I concurr with all the previous respondents; a few other points:

Occam's razor applies well to programming; I would try:

        my $h_sql1 = $db_inv->prepare_cached(
                "select items from item_a where "
                ." item_stock = ? " or die $DBI::errstr
               );

        $h_sql1->execute( 8 );

Go to the DBI users mailing list. Some go tos are good.
I forget the syntax but you can define the SQL type of placeheld arguments; where possible, I'd avoid the need to use that solution, instead changing my schema to use more compatible types. My determinations on the issue are a couple of years old, DBI and associated db drivers may have evolved.

Be well,
