my $dbh=DBI->connect($dsn,$opts{user}{value},$opts{password}{value}) | +| die($!);

The  || operator has higher precedence than the  = operator so you should either enclose the assignment in parentheses or use the lower precedence  or operator.

According to the DBI manual:

If the connect fails (see below), it returns "undef" and sets both $DBI::err and $DBI::errstr. (It does not explicitly set $!.) You should generally test the return status of "connect" and "print $DBI::errstr" if it has failed.

So that line should be:

my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, $opts{ user }{ value }, $opts{ password +}{ value } ) or die $DBI::errstr;
crash_n_burn() if $cl_part=~/^-h$|^--help$|^-h$/i;

If the first  ^-h$ pattern doesn't match what makes you think that the second one will?

$s_insert=<<EOT; /* Insert SP for $table */ drop procedure if exists insert_$table; delimiter // create procedure insert_table ( EOT

Shouldn't that be:

$s_insert=<<EOT; /* Insert SP for $table */ drop procedure if exists insert_$table; delimiter // create procedure insert_$table ( EOT
