first time accessing

[Gerald Preston]

I am making my first attempt to access MySQL with Perl 

 

#!/perl

use warnings;

use strict;

use dbi;

 

  my $dbh=DBI->connect( 'dbi:MySQL, 'user', 'pass' ) or die "Cannot connect
-> !<br>$DBI::errstr";

 

and I get the following error:

 

Can't connect to data source dbi:MySQL, no data driver specified and DBS_DSN
env var not set

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jerry
