CGI error
I'm using CGI and DBI modules and they are working ....
but I always see the following error in my error_log file

Name "main::VARIABLENAME" used only once: possible typo at FILENAME

That doesn't look like it relates to that error - I may be wrong.

Don't you need to create new object first?

That's not so much of an error rather a warning returned by perl.

I take it you're running #/path/to/perl -w?

It's just perl letting you know that a variable you've declared isn't actually being used anywhere. If you aren't getting any 500 errors, then I wouldn't worry about it.
