i don't _think_ you can do that. The problem is that you
need a handle before you can access the 'HandleError'
attribute. You can't even set $DBI::errstr or $DBI::err.
There _might_ be a way of tricking Perl into 'reblessing'
an object, but i think you will have to settle for
something along the lines of:
{
my $db_h = DBI->connect(
$db_serverstr, $db_user, $db_pass,
{HandleError => sub {die "WHYYYY\n".shift(@_)} }
) or die "WHYYYY\n" . $DBI::errstr;
my $sth = $db_h->selectall_arrayref('
grab me stuff from that table
');
}
'HandleError' will be used for all subsequent errors.
UPDATE
'RaiseError' will not magically make this work - i
thought that it would at first, as well that you need to
turn 'PrintError' off, which you don't.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
