Yes, «grep { ref $_ eq "ARRAY" }» filters that out
It is a pseudo-hash, which I don't like, but it is unlikely to ever
change. Would you be more comfortable with this?
unless ($type_map) {
# TYPE_NAME => DATA_TYPE
$type_map = { # Minimal type set (like CSV)
BLOB => -4,
TEXT => -1,
CHAR => 1,
INTEGER => 4,
REAL => 7,
VARCHAR => 12,
};
if (my $tia = $sth->{Database}->type_info_all ()) {
my $tiah = shift @$tia;
my %tiah = map { uc ($_) => $tiah->{$_} } keys %$tiah;
my ($tni, $dti) = map {$tiah->{$_}} "TYPE_NAME",
"DATA_TYPE";
$type_map->{$_->[$tni]} = $_->[$dti] for @$tia;
}
}
works just as well for me

The chances that will ever change are ZERO
