It would be better if you showed more complete code. Don't show passwords, but do flesh out what you have for: 

$self->dbh_config($data_source, $username, $auth, \%attr);

That's from CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH's SYNOPSIS. You should show us your equivalent code.

Unfortunately, "just hangs" does not help us at all. I'd be surprised if there's no feedback at all about this. The absence of "200 OK" in the log output could be telling; please show us what's there (error.log, access.log, others).

Just a wild guess, but do check that you're not interpolating strings with special characters; e.g. pass$word.

The sprintf() function is useful in many cases, not just number formatting. See its documentation for a huge number of examples.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
