The $dbh connect code should be like this: $dbh=DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:datrtabase=radio';host=localhost",root,"password", {RaiseError=>1}); If there is an error, you can catch it using, die statement.

I am attempting this on a Win2000 machine. Here's my code... #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect('Radio', 'root', ''); I get this error message... Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" (perhaps you forgot to load "DBI"?) at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin\rdb.pl line 7. DBI.pm lives under c:\perl\lib which is in my @INC. Ideas?
