I set a DBI error handler 'handle_error' with $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1; and I want to inspect the arguments passed to it under the debugger with perl -d 
sub handle_error {
            my $errortext = shift;
            my $handle   = shift;
            my $dbh;
            my  $dbh = $handle->{'Database'};

when I run it under the debugger when inside 'handle_error' I get 
  DB<2> x @_
0  'Duplicate key on INSERT detected.
    (Tue Jan 30 08:45:55 2024)'
1  DBI::db=HASH(0x33c6af0)
     empty hash
2  undef

However DBI::db=HASH(0x33c6af0) cannot be empty since I consume it in the next lines with
my $dbh = $handle->{'Database'};

Why does the debugger say that it is empty, and how can I inspect
the contents of DBI::db=HASH(0x33c6af0) ?
