You use do when you don't care about what is returned, when you care
you must "do" more work...

---untested code---
my $dbh = $Sql{mytable};
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(q{INSERT INTO mytable (a, b, c) VALUES (?, ?, ?)});
$sth->execute() or die("ERROR!: " . $sth->errstr);

Hope that helps you in the right direction :)
