Hi William et al
I have now installed the latest version (3.0.12) directly from CPAN -
turns out the version provided to me by running perl -MCPAN -e "install
Class::DBI" was 3.0.1 for some reason?!? Anyway suffice to say this has
solved my problem.

Thanks for the heads-up William - I must admit I'm a little out of my
depth here! However, the first line you point out seems fairly
reasonable to me - in fact I believe I *adapted* that from the
load_factory method of CGI::Builder::Auth?
With regards the other line I was trying to store the list of columns
(you'll note my list of columns is a list of hashes not just a list of
column names) as a class variable and access it on the fly - have I gone
about this in the wrong way? Any advice would be appreciated! You're
probably right that a little more OOP study is required - but at least I
am trying :)
Thanks
Jay
