Perl has three values that are false: 0, "" and undef.  Anything else is
true.

OE0 is the "0 but true" value that DBI uses to signal that zero rows were
returned, but succeeded.

It's DBI's way of saying 0 (records returned) but true. Ie It's
deliberate.

It probably means zero multiplied by ten to the power zero, or to put
it another way, zero.
