So using DBI brings Carp in.

Examination of Carp.pm shows that it does a require Carp::Heavy in a routine used by confess and croak.

I expect you have an incpmoplet install of Carp, plus you're hittting an error in DBI->connect that is causing an error that invokes the error handling routies.

Just my guess, though.
