Unrelated comment: with DBIx::Simple, you can save yourself some typing. 

$db->query('select count(*) from table_one')->into($row1);
$db->query('select count(*) from table_two')->into($row2);

or even, giving up a lot of speed: 
$db->select(table_one => '*')->into($row1);
$db->select(table_two => '*')->into($row2);

DBIx::Simple caches queries automatically, so there is no need to separate prepare and execute yourself.
