What exactly are you asking about? errstr is normally only defined
when an error occurs.
You can force an error:
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use Carp;
my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Pg:dbname=template1', undef, undef,
{PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 0} ) or croak $DBI::errstr;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( 'select fred from nothing' );
croak $dbh->errstr if ($dbh->err);
$sth->execute;
croak $sth->errstr if ($sth->err);
exit;
END { $dbh->disconnect if defined $dbh }
