From the content of your question, I'm guessing that you're working
with Mac OS X and therefore non-MacPerl perl.

This list is for MacPerl, which is perl on the old pre-Mac OS X Mac
systems.

The list you probably want is at mac...@perl.org .

I really shouldn't forward this to that list, but I will.

As far as your question is concerned, I'm not familiar with SQLite,
but it looks to me like your problem is not Mac OS X related. You
might want to check your table definition again.
