It works for me:

$ cat dberr.pl
use CGI::Carp;
use DBI;
my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=test") or die;
$dbh->do("bogus SQL");

$ perl dberr.pl
[Fri May  1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl: DBD::Pg::db do failed: ERROR:
syntax error at or near "bogus"
[Fri May  1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl: LINE 1: bogus SQL
[Fri May  1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl:         ^ at dberr.pl line 4.

If you run that trivial program in your environment, what output do you
get?
