The follow code fails to produce any data, and the tracing doesn't show any errors. What am I doing wrong?

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use DBI;
use DBD::SQLite;

my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=test.fasta.db','','' )
    or die DBI::errstr;

$dbh->trace( 15 );

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( 'select * from fasta' )
    or die DBI->errstr;
    
$sth->trace( 15 );

while( 1 ) {
    my $data = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref
        or die $sth->errstr;
    print "$data : @{ $data }";
}
__END__

But if I open the db with the sqlite3 executable, it runs the same query and produces output:

c:\test>sqlite3 test.fasta.db
SQLite version 3.7.3
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"

Is there anything obviously wrong in my code; or visible in the trace?
