From as far as I can see, this is expected behaviour - With CGI::Application, in addition to the setup method for the establishment of parameters such as database handles, there is also the teardown method, which is implemented automatically after the application is run and can be used for the clean up of handles and objects that require an explicit closure before script termination.

The error you are experiencing is a result of the DBI handle not being explicitedly disconnected prior to termination of CGI::Application execution - This error is not due to the closure of scope within the setup method. To correct this behaviour, you should make use of the teardown method within your CGI::Application class:

sub teardown {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->param('mydbh')->disconnect;
}

This should correct your problem. This method and a couple of other 'gotchas' for CGI::Application is described in my review of this module here.
