Thank you. Using perl code to process the result sets is a solution, but I really want to know what is the reason for the failure and what parameter in DBI or MySQL control the result string length.
I like to let Database engine to do all the work if possible, esp. for any type of 'set' calculation, so that I don't need to process row by row. Your code can be simplified a bit with 'ROLLUP' in the query':
my $stmt = "SELECT prod, count(*) from prod GROUP BY prod WITH ROLLUP;
+";
$sth = $dbh->prepare( $stmt );
$sth->execute();
my %pivot;
while ( my ( $k, $v ) = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
$k = 'Total' unless defined $k;
$k = 'Unknown' if $k eq '';
$pivot{$k} = $v;
}

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).
