That's a Safe error, they are a PITA.  Best thing to do is to try to not
use the tag inside a [calc] (or similar) block.  Alternatively it may
help to open up the table it's trying to access first with something like:
[perl tablename][/perl]

db files won't have a dbh handle, this tag would be designed to be used
with an SQL database.  If the code is changed to use the $db handle
instead then it will likely work with any type of database.
