I did some more digging and the problem appears to be a difference between Perl
5.005_03 and v5.6.0. I rebuilt all the modules, just in case, and it made no
difference. I started digging and it appears SvIOK() returns TRUE when the
string value is 2001-09-10.
How can I set what the type is of a columns in DBD::CSV to stop the module
believing this is an integer value?
