Problem with Postgres V 8 and DBI maybe

I am trying to add records to a table in DBI and I keep getting an error  7
The exact error is DBD::Pg::st execute failed:  at connect.pl line 107.
ERROR!!! (7) INSERT INTO phonegroups VALUES ('TECHIES',1, 1)
I included the statement and when I try it in pgpadmin it works fine.
Any suggestions?
