This is a 6 month old DVD-R / CD-R. I have another older CD-R (a Sony) 
that also doesn't read the table of contents header.

Actually I just tried it again (just so that it would print the CD brand 
  and model) and it worked! Strange.

I think something must have happened with the operating system because 
now the cddb.pl perl script runs as well. But this is only with the old 
Sony, not the newer DVD-R.
