Thanks for your help!

I should have been more clear. I'm seeing the literal string when I do a select in the database. (Before anyone asks it's not just a different font or something. SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE field IS NULL does not work. It's actually a string with the value 'null'. I've inserted NULL values into the table manually and they work fine.)

I dumped the bound parameters as you suggested (see below). Values being set to undef is what I want, right?

$VAR1 = {
          '11' => '117082.50',
          '7' => '116500.00',
          '2' => '0028363075',
          '17' => '.0050000',
          '1' => '08/31/09',
          '18' => '09-01-09',
          '16' => '.0650000',
          '13' => undef,
          '6' => '462.76',
          '3' => '1709777884',
          '9' => '48.54',
          '12' => undef,
          '14' => undef,
          '15' => '736.36',
          '8' => '631.04',
          '4' => '08-26-09',
          '10' => '582.50',
          '5' => '1'
        };
