I'm trying to learn how to use DBI and DBD::CSV. But, I can't get past the first page of the documentation. The example from the docs:

"Creating a database handle....snip"

use DBI;
use DBI::CSV;

my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:CSV:");
[download]

which apparently is the default current directory. I have full privileges in the directory that I'm working in.

"You can create and drop tables with commands like the following:"

$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE new_table (id 1, name new(64))");
[download]

Well, running this returns the following error:

DBD::CSV::db do failed: Parse error near 1, name new(64)) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/DBD/File.pm line 164.
[download]

I'm running 5.6; could this be my problem? I don't see any references to incompatibility with 5.6.
