Did you read the docs and notice that the placeholder arguments start at the third argument in the method (the second arg, the attributes hashref, can be undef)?

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if I've ever tried that particular method with placeholders, but I have run into the same issue on other dbh methods using placeholders (i.e. forgetting to put the undef in).

Also, FYI, you can still use prepared statements with those methods, as the first argument can be either a SQL string or a prepared statement handle.
