Perl Teradata

Good Morning,

I am looking for help to solve my problem with the Perl DBD::Teradata install 1.52.  After a successful, error free, build and install  I get the follow message when trying to make a connection.  I can guarantee you the host is ping-able and exists.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DBD Terdata version 1.52
Teradata Client 15.00
Redhat verion 6.5

Error:
DBI connect(myHost;database=thedatabase','info',...) failed: Unable to get host address. at ./test_teradata.pl line 23.
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at ./test_teradata.pl line 26.

Connect syntax:
my $tdh = DBI->connect("dbi:Teradata:$SERVER;database=$DEFAULTDB",$USERNAME,$KEY,
                        {  RaiseError => 0, tdat_mode => 'ANSI' }
                      );

Environment variables set:
TD_ICU_DATA=/opt/teradata/client/15.00/tdicu/lib64
COPLIB=/opt/teradata/client/15.00/lib64
COPERR=/opt/teradata/client/15.00/lib64


Thanks,
