Both DBD::SQLite 1.13 and DBD::SQLite 1.14 have bugs that prevent the
Rose::DB::Object test suite from passing.  (I'd link to one, but
rt.cpan.org seems unresponsive at the moment.)  In fact, the only
versions that the test suite will even attempt to use are 1.12 and
1.13, which are from 2005 and 2006, respectively.  So, basically,
DBD::SQLite has been broken for a long time--years!--and desperately
needs some attention from a knowledgeable C/XS programmer.
