I am tring to connect to a MySql database and I have been told that I have
to include the 'HOSTNAME' (localhost). Can anyone see anything wrong with
this code ??????
use DBI;
my $database = 'mydatabase@localhost';
my $data_source = "DBI:mysql:$database";
my $username = "username";
my $password = "password";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password)
or die "unable to connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
When i run the code, it bombs out at the 'my $dbh = ....'
Many many thanks in advance (I have spent days on this !!!!)
Anadi
