Brethren;
I am trying to get DBI & DBD-Teradata working at a new site. I have worked with this stuff before and it has worked great for me. Now however I'm stumped. I took the canonical DBI connect example and modified it for Teradata & my site: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# DBCInfo Query Based on Cannonical Perl DBI connection to Mysql.
######################################################################
+########


use DBI;

$host = "Host Address";  # = "localhost", the server your are on.
$db = "My User Name";       # your username (= login name  = account n
+ame )
$user = $db;           # your Database name is the same as your accoun
+t name.
$pwd = "Password";             # Your account password


# connect to the database.

print(__PACKAGE__ . ':' . __LINE__ . ":Connecting...\n");
$dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:Teradata:$host", $user, $pwd)
        or die "Connecting : $DBI::errstr\n ";
print(__PACKAGE__ . ':' . __LINE__ . ":Connected.\n");

$sql = "SELECT * FROM DBC.DBCInfo";


# executing the SQL statement.


$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die "preparing: ",$dbh->errstr;
$sth->execute or die "executing: ", $dbh->errstr;

print "content-type: text/html\n\n";


# one of the functions to retrieve data from the table results
# check perldoc DBI for more methods.


while ($row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref)        
   {
   foreach(sort(keys(%$row)))    
      {
      print("$_:\[$row->{$_}\]\n");
      }
   }

Of course the appropriate Host, user & password are filled in on the real script. When run it just tries to connect and dies. It doesn't come back from the connect back to the main program. No error messages or warnings either. I have traced it as far as I'm able and it seems to be getting a session number in Teradata.pm but the $dbh seems to be empty.
I'm using DBI v1.48, DBD-Teradata v1.20, Crypt-Blowfish v2.09 and Teradata V2R5.01
Any Ideas?
