Gerald,

Your connect string needs to be DBI:mysql:<dbname>:<hostvar>.

I am trying to get Perl to talk to MySQL that I have setup.  According to
"WinMySQLAdmin1.4"

Local Host Name = GJW

Local User name = Jerry

Databases:

GJW

  Club

     bar

  mysql

  test

I am using the following code:

#!/perl

use warnings;

use strict;

use DBI;

 my $dbh=DBI->connect( 'DBI:mysql:GJW:club:bar', 'gjw', 'password' ) or die
"Cannot connect -> gjw!!<br>$DBI::errstr";

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Jerry
