I don't think it can be my data because I'm just storing the time as a timestamp.

  my $data = qq(INSERT INTO searches (search, engine, time) values(?,?
+,NOW()));
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($data);
  $sth->execute("$search", "$engine");

search and engine are irrelevant right now, it's just time that's not coming back I'm assuming. The time column is of datetime and this is all I used to set it all up.

    "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS searches
    (
       id int auto_increment NOT NULL,
       search VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
       engine VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
       time datetime,
       primary key  (id)
    )");

Thank you.
