Looks like a perl script, so you can use 'or' (||) to evaluate your
'connect' string, i.e.
To stop the script if connect fails use
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database:localhost",'user','password') || die
"No connection to database";
To issue a warning only
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database:localhost",'user','password') ||
print "Database connect failed";
