in thread Return results of UPDATE statement

This string is generated by the mysql command line client, and since you don't use it, you have to construct it yourself.

I think you can obtain the number of affected rows as the return value of $dbh->execute (but please check the documentation first), the time difference is easily computed by invoking time before and after the query, use Time::HiRes get sub-second resolution.
