I'm 99.9% sure this is a bug in DBD::CSV please corroborate! I've spent now 4hrs tracking this down, <notice> this is as compact as I could get it.</notice> This thing is absolutely driving me crazy.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
no warnings;
use DBD::CSV;
my $file = shift;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:CSV:f_dir=.')
  or die "Cannot connect $!";
$dbh->{'csv_tables'}{'current_table'}
  = { file => $file, quote_char => '~', eol=> "\r\n" };
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(q{SELECT * FROM current_table});
$sth->execute();
while ( defined ( my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) ) {
  if ( $sth->errstr() ) { print $sth->errstr() and die };
}

print $sth->errstr();

And it seems to crash on this data:

~Style ID~,~Hist Style ID~,~Model ID~,~Model Year~,~Sequence~,~Style C
+ode~,~Full Style Code~,~Style Name~,~True Base Price~,~Invoice~

(program run with ./program file.csv)
Error Message as follows:

As a last note, the whitespace in the csv are to show that there is no real funny business going on there. Thanks in advance monks. From a later post.

From a later post: synopsis of thread. BUG FOUND When this is the data file it works fine!!! Data File:

~Style Name~
~5dr Crew Cab 130~

Deduction: The bug is DBD::CSV breaking if there is an occurance of a double quotes within a non-standard quote character of '~', (so what is the point of using quote_char) ?

Still no resolution
