Execution ERROR: Can't use AVG on a string! called from ./runsql3.sql at 24.
Ah. that changes things -- DBD::CSV is treating the values as strings. Read the Data restrictions section of the docs where it says that DBD::CSV doesn't correctly handle data types, in particular NULLs. If you insert integers, it might happen, that fetch returns a string.
You might want to try DBD::AnyData instead.. Or in the avg() make sure the value is casted to a number so that it's not treated as a string. or finally, you could just select * all the data (6000 rows) and use perl to loop over it once and average everything.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
