You also have another major problem in your script with this line:

Basically, your insert statement will never run because it will only run if there is an eval error, $@. I would advise you to change your script in the following ways by doing better error checking and using placeholders in your insert statement:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use strict;
use warnings;

# Declare varaibles
my $DBNAME   =  "Test";
my $DBTABLE  =  "Pandora";
my $DBUSER   =  "slacker";
my $DBPASS   =  "password";
my $DBHOST   =  "localhost";
my $csvfile  =  "/tmp/nowplayingtest.csv";

# Connect to database at hand, or die
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$DBNAME:$DBHOST", $DBUSER, $DBPASS)
    or die "DB connect failed: $DBI::errstr";

my $update_h = $dbh->prepare(qq{INSERT INTO $DBTABLE (Artist, Title, A
+lbum) VALUES (?, ?, ?)});

open my $ih, $csvfile or die "Can't open file, $csvfile: $!";

while (<$ih>) {
    chomp;
    
    my @rows = split ';'; # Is a semicolon your delimiter, or is it a 
+comma?

    my $artist  =  $rows[0];
    my $title   =  $rows[1];
    my $album   =  $rows[2];

    $update_h->execute($artist, $title, $album) or die $dbh->errstr;
}


my $res = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( q( SELECT Artist, Title, Album FRO
+M Pandora));

foreach( @$res ) {
    print "\n$_->[0], $_->[1] $_->[2]\n\n";
}
