Seems likely.
Yes, I've released a new version where the test checks for $] > 5.6.1

Hrm. I guess it wasn't telling us much, since it's dependent on Perl
versions, rather than the implementation of the DBI.
If you really need to capture the complete state at the time the error
*is recorded* rather than the time its *checked for and thrown* then
you could use HandleSetErr instead of HandleError:
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.604/DBI.pm#HandleSetErr_(code_ref,_inherited)
Interesting, I hadn't seen that. As for my uses, I just wanted to get
my tests passing again. No one has complained about the state of the
error information in Exception::Class::DBI, to my knowledge. So I
think I'll leave it as-is.
Best,
David
