Sort of, in general I was talking more about catching and handling the error rather
than printing or not printing it, meaning that rather than letting DBI do the error
handling for me, I would rather catch the error myself and then throw the exception
myself depending on what I am doing. Then in my exception I attach the message from
DBI (when I want to, which for me is always, but your method would work as well to
turn it on and off) using something like $dbh->errstr or $DBI::errstr or $sth->errstr
depending on where the error occurred. That way I get the messages to help with
debugging, but have complete control over what the "handling an exception" really does.
