1. Log into Telnet shell

The syntax for connecting to a mysql database from perl/DBI is
my $dbh =
DBI-connect('dbi:drivername:database:host','username','passwor

Eg: $dbh =
DBI-connect('dbi:mysql:testDB:dbserv','$username','$password');
There are more options see
This is well outlined in the DBI perldoc btw ;-)
