It is in DBD::CSV's documentation that it does not handle types correctly. Your specific bug is mentioned.

I believe it was a DBI design decision to not require stringent type handling of database drivers because that would have made it more difficult to create them and because lots of the backends are not strictly compliant. A CSV file doesn't not have an SQL compliant typing system. You may want to type all your fields; the next player may just want it to work.

Be well,

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.
