Update 2: Nevermind. After deleting a bunch of modules from /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl and reinstalling them, it now works. <sigh>

This has me a bit baffled... I suppose the best way to explain it is an example. Here is my "database", in a file called "MyTable": 

COLA,COLB,VALUE
foo,bar,1
baz,bar,2

[download]
And the code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(qq{DBI:CSV:f_dir=.;csv_eol=\n}, undef, undef, {
+RaiseError => 1});
my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT VALUE FROM MyTable WHERE COLA = ? AND 
+COLB = ?');
$sth->execute('baz', 'bar');
my @r = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print Dumper \@r;

[download]
If I run this, I get: 
$ perl ./csvtest.pl
$VAR1 = [];

[download]
And yet if I change 'baz' to 'foo', I get: 
$ perl ./csvtest.pl
$VAR1 = [
  '1'
];

[download]
In the example, I'm expecting to get a '2', but that's not what I'm getting.

Any clues?

DBD::CSV, Text::CSV_XS, SQL::Statement all seem to be at the latest available...

(Apparently, I use CSV files for databases too much :->)
