$dbh->errstr is not a variable but method call, thus it will not
interpolate. Say
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$db",$servuser,$servpass) or die
"Unable to connect to inventory database: " . $dbh->errstr . "\n";

join() joins the elements of an array into a string, so it is not
clear to me what @all does here

I guess this should read
for (@values) { s/addvehicle,//; }

and here you should
my @all = join ', ', @values;

and here:
my $success = $dbh->do("INSERT INTO $tbl VALUES ($all)") or die
"Unable to write information to inventory database: " . $dbh->errstr
. "\n";
