Since this sounds like a bug in your system, it sounds like time for a bug report to the author. In that bug report, the output of "perl -V" is likely to be helpful.

Since the error is in the output of the database, odds are that the bug will have to get reported to the author of SQLite. For that it may be helpful to visit http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ and see if you can generate the error without Perl in the mix. If you can then report it there directly instead.

Yes, I know that all of this is a PITA to do. But having users be willing to go through the work of submitting good bug reports is part of what makes open source able to work. (And normally if you do this, the quality of the support that you get is quite impressive.)
