You are selecting three columns, but your bind_columns() has 4 arguments. This should be an error. Why is the first argument undef? Each arg should correspond to a selected column. Are you checking for errors? Is RaiseError set?
Update: nevermind...the docs say the first argument is ignored if undef or a hash reference...missed that part the first time...until Albannach made me read it again :-)
