in thread DBI driver name from database handle

Would 
    $dbh -> {Name}

provide the information you are after?

No.

$dbh -> {Name} provides the name of the database used in the connection string.

From DBI docs

""Name""  (string)
    Holds the "name" of the database. Usually (and recom­
    mended to be) the same as the ""dbi:DriverName:...""
    string used to connect to the database, but with the
    leading ""dbi:DriverName:"" removed.
