Probably not related to your specific problem, but:

Putting $dbh->errstr inside quotes is wrong. Double
quotes will interpolate variables, but not method
calls. And if you're going to die on any error anyway,
you may as well put RaiseError=>1 in the connect and
save yourself from all those '|| die ...' clauses.
