I will admit to never having used DBI::CSV, but I notice that your
connect string is
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:f_dir=/home/jc/data/yahoo.csv");
^^^^^
and your error message is
No such directory '/home/jc/data/yahoo.csv' at ./dbtest.pl line 27
^^^^^^^^^
so I'm just guessing here that you're using the wrong method to
specify the file you want to open. A quick look at Google indicates that
you do indeed need to specify a directory as the argument to f_dir,
but I didn't google far enough to find out how to specify the file.
Good luck!
