I hate to sound rude but 'perldoc DBI' does indeed tell you how to supress the printing of error messages on STDERR (or is it STDOUT).
You can set the PrintError attribute to false (or zero) as a hash element in your connect() or, I think, when you prepare your statement. The only reason I don't know for sure if it can be done in the prepare() is because I only set the attribute in my connect() calls.

Thanks in advance. -Gohaku
