A semi-colon would work better, though. ;) Gordon Dewis Production Officer Geography Division Statistics Canada (613)951-4591

I've included the code i'm trying to use to make the connection but I'm getting what looks like an error when the perl script is compiled. I suspect that something is not installed that I need. If you need any additional information let me know. Any hints to what I need to make this work would be appreciated. Code: use DBI $database = "print_quota"; $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database","username","password"); Error message: "print_quota" is not exported by the DBI module at ./connect line 5 Can't continue after import errors at ./connect line 5
