Build Identifier:

while unquoting values received from the server, the unquote subroutine incorrectly returns 'undef' when the value is 0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. sample Perl DBI script selecting from a table with some 0's
2. print received data from fetchall_arrayref using Data::Dumper

Actual Results:

'undef' is printed instead of original '0'

Expected Results:

a true 0 is printed

I've included a small patch to fix this issue.
