I just had a terrible thought: what if Oracle (I am an Informix DBA)
uses uppercase by default instead of lowercase.  At the top of your
program (next to "use DBI;") put "use Data::Dumper;".  After the fetch
put

print Dumper($case);

This will print the contents of $case to the screen.  I believe you will
find that the keys to hash are in uppercase.  I wish I had though of
this sooner.
