As short explained in irc, Cwd::abs_path from PathTools 3.31 seems to die
when the given file doesn't exists:

   Cwd::abs_path ("C:\\senseless-dir\\senseless.csv");

Calculating the absolute path was done twice there, that's why I removed
it ($searchdir should be an absolute path name anyway). What remains:

   $dbh->do (q{select * from "non/existing/dir/file.csv"});

will die for the same reason some lines earlier. There're now 2 ways we
can go:

1) we could prove existence of the directory before calling abs_path
    and croak on our own
2) we can fix the bug in Cwd and require fixed PathTools for DBI-1.612
