I am trying to call a simple line from a table with only two lines. This whole shippet seems to work until the bind line, where I see the error: 
    Can't call method "bind_columns" without a package or object refer
+ence at /var/www/cgi-bin/noctracker.pl line 95.

The code snippet in question is: 
    use DBI;
    $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:gds:localhost", "tools", "meep") or
+ die  ("No love for the DBI connect");
    $sql = qq{ SELECT uname, fname, fgroup, dmod, accts FROM noctracke
+r WHERE uname = 'gwalker'} ;
    $sth = $dbh->do( $sql ) or die ("Could not select");

    my( $uname, $fname, $fgroup, $dmod, $accts );
    $sth->bind_columns( undef, \$uname, \$fname, \$fgroup, \$dmod, \$a
+ccts );  # this is line 95
