You've not given me much to go on, but I'd guess it's related to the
timing of when perl invokes the DESTROY method (which has changed
between perl versions). In which case it may be mostly beyond the
control of the DBI.
A small self-contained example that behaves differently between
different DBI/Perl versions will buy you more of my time :)
