I have no idea how Class::DBI works, but from the DBD::SQLite docs,
the correct DSN string for sqlite is
DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbfile","","");
Note, 'dbname' instead of 'database'
That said, you may be making things too hard for yourself. I use
CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH, and it just works.
Finally, note there is a CGI::Application mailing list, for CGI::App
questions. That may be more suitable than this more sqlite-focused
list.
