This looks more like a Perl/DBI problem to me.
But note that the error message said that a '=' is missing _after_
'sample:localhost:5432' and you are putting the '=' in _front_ of it....
Try putting it after, maybe it works.

If I were you I would make sure I have the latest DBI, make sure it passes
all the tests on the install, and try to write a simple perl script that
connects your Pq database and see what syntax you need to use for that.
perldoc DBI.

I hope this helps.
