The DBI docs say::

  $rows = $dbh->do($statement) or die $dbh->errstr;

so when ``do`` returns 1, it means it worked, not that it failed.

In particular:

    Returns the number of rows affected or "undef" on error. A return
    value of "-1" means the number of rows is not known, not
    applicable, or not available.
