SUCCESS!

What I have done is 'decode' the base 36 string into a string of regular base 10 numbers and then split this into its component parts. (Previously I was splitting the base 36 string and then decoding each component directly to a numeric variable).

The result is that the numeric variables get initialised as regular integers and the DBI module is then happy to use them with the prepared place holders.

Many thanks Eliya, et al, as this had been driving me nuts for about a day and a half. Guess I should have checked with The Monks earlier! :-)
