I was trying to put a custom handler for the error being raised by SQLite. Below is the snip of the sub routines which I put down. 

sub handle_error {
my $message = shift;
my $database = shift;

if ( its a connection error ) {
log an error and exit
else 
log an error and continue
}

sub initDB {
my $dbh = shift;
my $database = shift;
my $driver = "SQLite";
my $dsn = "DBI:$driver:dbname=$$database";
my $userID = "";
my $password = "";
$$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $userID, $password,
    {RaiseError => 1,
        PrintError => 0,
        HandleError => \&handle_error,
        AutoCommit => 0 }
) or handle_error(DBI->errstr, $$database);
$$dbh->do("PRAGMA synchronous=OFF");
}

Now is there a way I can identify its an connection error or some other error e.g. say insert operation fails. As I want to use a generic function which take cares of logging the errors based on the error.
