in reply to create SQLite database problems

This seems to work for me as well. Kind of a shot in the dark, but have you tried explicitly turning autocommit on or just explicitly calling commit at the end of everything?

While you're at it, maybe consider setting the RaiseError flag to true as well...you never know, right? Something like:

$dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, $username, $password, Autocommit => 1, RaiseError => 1, );

    Just a minor point: Autocommit should be AutoCommit

    Good suggestion! Still worked in my environment (and setting AutoCommit => 0 then doing $dbh->rollback(); did indeed create an empty SQLite database).

    EDIT
    Also, DBI expects AutoCommit & RaiseError to be passed in a hash reference:

    $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, $username, $password, { AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1} );

      Blah, that'll teach me to forgo checking documentation and rely on my memory for such things. Good catch!
