The syntax that DBD::CSV supports is documented in SQL::Statement::Syntax. It clearly states that the supported argument for set functions is a column name, not a numeric expression:

set function ::=
             COUNT ( [DISTINCT|ALL] * )
           | COUNT | MIN | MAX | AVG | SUM ( [DISTINCT|ALL] col_name )

So the short answer is, no, sorry, you can't currently do that like that in DBD::CSV. Depending on what you want to do, you may be able to build your own UDF (User-Defined-Function) to use here. See SQL::Statement::Function for details of building UDFs.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
