Looks like in some contexts there should be an eval block around connect() to
ensure the password is not shown. The pun in the output here was actually an
accident...
C:\temp>type db.pl
use strict;
use DBI;
my ${dbh} = DBI->connect( 'this', 'is', 'bad', { RaiseError => 1 } );
C:\temp>db.pl
Can't connect(this is bad HASH(0x1abf084)), no database driver specified and DBI
_DSN env var not set at C:\temp\db.pl line 5
