It really looks like the connection is failing. Also you really should error trap everything, even the execution of Sql(). On a call to new Win32::ODBC::Error() returns the last error, I don't believe $! contains the error message. Additionally it looks like your SQL had flaws. I assume the table isn't '<DATA>', so it should be written as DATA or [DATA]. Unless $machine and $LocUsr are being inserted into numeric fields you need to single quote them.

Maybe try something like this: 
my $db;
if(!($db = new Win32::ODBC('user_logons'))){
    die 'Connect failed: ' . Win32::ODBC::Error() . "\n";
}
 
my $sql = "INSERT INTO [Data] (pc_name, user_name,time+date) VALUES ('
+$machine', '$LocUsr', GETDATE())";

if ($db->Sql($sql)) {
    print "Sql Error: " . $db->Error() . "\n";
    print "SQL: $sql\n";
}
