RE: Connection to MySQL DB fails when mod_perl enabled...

[Jonathan M. Hollin]

:: This is suspicious.  The connect() is definitely where the error is
:: happening given what you wrote earlier.  Try making sure, change it to:
:: 
::         use DBI();
::         $driver = "mysql";
::         $dsn = "DBI:$driver:database=shapeshifter;host=localhost";
::         $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, dbusrname, dbpassword)
::           or die "Error: $DBI::errstr";

Done this - failed!
