In the interest of documenting the debugging process I'm going through (please overlook some stupidity, given that I've been up at least 60 of the last 72 hours), I tried this:

        my @last_records = database('current')->quick_select('states',
            {
                host_name => $data->{'host_name'},
                name => $data->{'service_description'}
                },
            { order_by => { desc => 'id' } }
            ) or $delstatus .= '/error from quick_select call;' .
                ' ERR [' . Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core::DBI->err . 
+'];' .
                ' ERRSTR [' . Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core::DBI->err
+str . ']';

And got this error:

[NagiosToServiceNow::json:40284] error @2018-09-22 20:32:46> Route exc

I was trying to fully-quality the variable. So that didn't work, so I tried:

        my @last_records = database('current')->quick_select('states',
            {
                host_name => $data->{'host_name'},
                name => $data->{'service_description'}
                },
            { order_by => { desc => 'id' } }
            ) or $delstatus .= '/error from quick_select call;' .
                ' ERR [' . $Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core::DBI::err .
+ '];' .
                ' ERRSTR [' . $Dancer::Plugin::Database::Core::DBI::er
+rstr . ']';

and got:

By now you're probably realizing that my frenzied mind is lost. Sadly, I am in serious need of some very real help from my fellow monks on this, or I'm afraid I'll just go crazy... :(
