I have implemented a teardown routine; but not calling it is not the cause of my error.

And I still don't understand how your sub setup executes without error -- you are creating a DBI handle within your call to $self->param just as I was -- and I got a DBI error out of that.

I also note that you have also made the change from 

$self->run_modes(
  'mode1' => 'showform',
  'mode2' => 'showlist'
);

to 
$self->run_modes(
  'mode1' => \&showform,
  'mode2' => \&showlist
);

Is the original documentation inaccurate? After some skull sweat I figured out the answer myself, and I'm glad to see that you have it correctly on your page. I will peruse your node with a magnifying glass to see how many other 'gotcha's there are -- thanks for your contribution.
