That's a Perl error.
You've told Perl not to allow you to use a variable unless you declare
it with:
my
local
our
(and possibly other keywords but these are the most common)
If you substitute:
my $drh=....
...then you'll be fine.
You might want to find out more information on what the "use strict"
actually does too. A good place would be the perl documentation
(perldoc) or http://www.perl.org/
Hope this helps.
