Error indicates to me that it is a problem with your $dbh not being initialized
Thanks injunjoel! You were right. It had nothing to do with my prepare statement. And I was testing with || die $DBI::errstr; but it wasn't turning up anything different than my use warnings; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); was. I feel badly that it had nothing to do with the prepare but did I ever learn a lot about placeholders from replying monks. Thanks again for the nudge injunjoel and to all monks.
Update: don't know how my reply to injunjoel ended up here. But apologies.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
