This is suspicious.  The connect() is definitely where the error is
happening given what you wrote earlier.  Try making sure, change it to:

        use DBI();
        $driver = "mysql";
        $dsn = "DBI:$driver:database=shapeshifter;host=localhost";
        $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, dbusrname, dbpassword)
          or die "Error: $DBI::errstr";

(include the whole string there)
