From that it sounds like you might be doing something like:

  [ qw/ 1, Foo 55.0 / ],

Since this is using 'qw' the first member is actually '1,' and if you
try to treat it as a number your database might barf. It would be
difficult to tell without looking at your data file.

Another question: did any of the data actually get inserted?

Well, OI isn't 'pure' in any sense. Some of the functions are too
complex and overdesigned and thus difficult to understand for
newcomers. But, have faith: there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Once you get a handle on things you can create some very cool stuff.
