Sorry for not actually testing what I wrote earlier. I've given it some more attention, and I've come to the conclusion that you also need to prefix the option names with a '-'.

This script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#  Server component of SQLite client/server prototype.

use DBI::ProxyServer;

{
    DBI::ProxyServer::main(

            # clients => [ '192.168.0.115' ],
            -debug => 1,
            -localport => 16000,
            -logfile => '/tmp/Server.log',
            -mode => 'fork',
            -pidfile => '/tmp/Server.pid',
            , @ARGV);
}
[download]

produces the following output:

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8
+.8/i686-linux/DBI/ProxyServer.pm line 99.

Furthermore, netstat shows it's listening on port 16000:

$ netstat -natp | grep LIST
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:16000 0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN  2624/perl

I suspect you'll need to read the docs for the exact specs for the clients option, as I saw it said the elements are supposed to be hashrefs. I didn't bother testing that.

HTH,
