You must be sure that the mysql daemon is running
try 'mysql -u test -ping'
It isn't useful to try for user and pwd, mysql has its user table
different from that of the system
If you have a standard installation of mysql and haven't
changed the user table you should connect to 'test' database
whit user 'test' and no password
try '$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:test", "test")...'
if ping return 'mysqld is alive'

You must know at least a little of mysql
