Eternal greetings, Perl Monks.

On a WindowsXP-Perl5.8 box, I have created the following error:

(in cleanup) Can't call method "close" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBD/mysqlPP.pm line 314 during global destruction.

from the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my $q = new CGI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysqlPP:database=generator;host=localhost"
+,"root", "mysql",{'RaiseError' => 1});

print $q->header,
     $q->start_html();
&display;
print $q->end_html;
$dbh->disconnect;
exit;

sub display {
      my $statement = qq(SELECT * FROM clients LIMIT 10);
      my $sth = $dbh->prepare($statement);
      $sth->execute();
     my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array;
      $sth->finish();
     print $q->p(@row);
}

By my count there should be no errors in this. MysqlPP is at 0.04 and needs improvement but I don't think it should develop errors with this basic code.

I have written the author with no response. In Japan, the hour is late. I hope to blessed by your answer.
